Every*cause capable of increasing the amount of blood ordinarily circulating through the brain has a tendency to cause wakefulness. If the brain is often kept for long periods' on j the stretch, during which the vessels are filled to repletion, they cannot contract even when the exciting causes cease. Wakefulness, as a consequence, results., and every day the condition of the individual becomes worse, because time brings the force of habit into operation. Everything that tends to throw the blood unduly to the brain, or to accumulate' it there, should be avoided. This is a vital matter, and prevention is better than cure.
