Quotes3

  • Lecturer: [on sleeping on one's stomach] The best way to get into this position is to fall into it from above. This is a great favorite with drunks.
  • Lecturer: We have here a pamphlet issued by the Mellon Institute in Pittsburgh, showing photographs made of a man during an 8-hour sleep. It was found that he changed positions 55 times, which is normal for the average healthy sleeper. Let us study these positions now, in detail, without actually getting into bed with the man.
  • Lecturer: Now, there are several methods of drawing the blood sufficiently away from the brain to induce sleep. There is, for example, a hot pine bath before retiring. Sprinkle the salts in. Aw, there's nothing like those ole pine needles.
