DM #509: “…and breathe through their nostrils, which were evidently made for that purpose, instead of dropping the under jaw and drawing an over-draught of cold air directly on the lungs, though the mouth; and that in the middle of the night, when the fires have gone down and the air is at its coldest temperature – the system at rest, and the lungs the least able to withstand the shock.
–
For those who have suffered with weakness is the lungs or other disease of the chest, there needs no proof of this fact; and of those, if any, who are yet incredulous, it only requires that they should ask a candle in their hand and look at their friends asleep and snoring; or with the Nightmare (or without it), with their eyes shut and their mouths wide open – the very pictures of distress – of suffering, of Idiocy, an Death; when Nature designed that they should be smiling the soothing and invigorating forgetfulness of the fatigues and anxieties of the day, which are dissolving into pleasure and dreamy shadows of ‘realities gone by.'
–
…That man knows not the pleasure of sleep; he rises in the morning more fatigued than when He retired to rest – takes pills and remedies through the day, and renews his disease every night.”
