How Can the Brain Rest ?
I am not very much of a physio­
logist, and at the risk of incurring
a smile of pity and derision from
those who consider themselves
learned in the science of Physiology
I will state that, in its present im-
perlect state, ! hftVfl not my larg e
respect for it. Now, there’s Anato­
my ; You con know something for
certain about it ; the number size,
weight, color, texture and situation
of the bones, muscles, cords, tendons
and different organs of the body
can be demonstrated, and, of course,
inferences can be drawn regarding
their uses uiid treatment in many
particulars. In others there has
been a great deal of guess-work
done, and in no regard have guesses
been more prolific than regarding
the brain, unless it may be the
much-abused ^tOJOACh Mid Ji ver. ■
The question asked at thè begin-’
ning is one that has many times
presented itself for my considera­
tion. For many years past there
has been a Vast amount of preach­
ing to people.about over-working
their brains ; -and as I lay down
trying to take an hour’s rest, and,
in acct>rdanee w i th my physicians
requirements, working tremendous­
ly hard to stop thinking," the
thought came to me—and I had to
think it—why not stop breathing
to rest the lungs ?
The chain of thought which fol­
lowed may be original. I do nut
know. It was new to me, and af­
fords me great consolation ; for I
must confess this idea of stopping
thinking to rest the brain has al­
ways been repugnant to me.
We fyreathe with the lungs, but
the lungs do not produce the air we
breathe; they simply breathe it,
and that without any conscious vo­
lition on our part, excepting at
times when we find it beneficial to
refresh our lungs by drawinn- in sn
extra quantity.
Some say we think with the
stomach, and perhaps dyspeptics do.
Oidinarily, however, I suppose we
think with the brain, but the brain
does not produce the thought we
think. It simply thinks it, and
that, usually, without any conscious
volition on our part.
Now, let us ca rry &e^aral!el
farther : Suppose a person of large
Jung capacity confined in a small
room. The air of the room soon
becomes vitiated and injurious to
the lungs. Shall we say, to that
