If I one goes to sleep on tlie leftside, tlie operj atioii of emptying tlie stomach of its con| tents is more like drawing water from a | well. After going to sleep, tliu body takos j I its own position. If yon sleep ou your back, especially soon after a hearty meal, the | weight of the digestive orgv.ns and that of the food, resting on the great vein of the body, near tlie hade bono, compresses it, and arrests tlie ll?>,v of tlio blood more or less. If the arrest is partial, the sleep is disturbed, and there are unpleasant dreams. If (he ;neat has been recent or hearty the an est is more derided, and the various sensations, such as falling over a precipice, or the pursuit of a wild beast, or other impending danger, and the desperate effort to get lid of it, arouses u?, and sends on thestajjnating blood, and we wake in a fright, or trembling, or perspiration or feeling of exhaustion, according to the degree of stagna tion ami the length and strength of the ef- . fort made to escape the danger.
