Excerpt from A Treatise on the Incubus, or Night-Mare, Disturbed Sleep, Terrific Dreams, and Nocturnal Visions: With the Means of Removing These Distressing Complaints The enjoyment of comfortable and nu disturbed sleep, is certainly to be ranked amongst the greatest blessings which heaven has bestowed on mankind and it may be considered as one of the best criterions of a person enjoying perfect health. On the contrary, any disturb ance which occurs in the enjoyment of this invaluable blessing, may be cousi dered adecisive, proof of some derange ment existing in the animal economy, and a consequent deviation from the stan dard of health. Indeed it is astonishing how slight a deviation from that standard. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
