Note 24 — SLEEP.
Reading edition
“Nothing is a greater Enemy to feeble life, than laying aside old habits—or leaving a climate, or place, to which one has been long accustomed: the irritation occasioned by such changes is highly prejudicial.
“Even pernicious habits, insalubrious air, &c. must be abandoned with great caution—or we shall thereby hasten the end of our Patient.”—Struve’s Asthenology, p. 398.
