Sleep and Health in a Moral Tone From the College Courant
An extract from the College Courant urges brain workers to value sleep as a key hygienic command. It warns that neglect of rest damages health, while ample sleep supports recovery and mental balance. The piece links sleeplessness to various nervous ailments and stresses daily self‑examination to return to proper sleep patterns. It contrasts this with a crime tale in New Orleans where a man dies at a gambling house, his death witnessed as the crowd resumes play.
