Reading aloud slowly and in a uniform voice will bring sleep to most persons. When drowsiness comes, the voice may be lowered a little and continued until slumber closes the eyes. (Concerning the varieties and causes of Insomnia, see also Appendix A.)
CHAPTER XIX
HYPNOTIC SLEEP
What would we give to our beloved?
The hero’s heart to be unmoved,—
The poet’s star-tuned harp to sweep;
The patriot’s voice to teach and rouse,—
The monarch’s crown to light the brows?
“He giveth His belovèd sleep.”
