Footnotes

† He found that our diet had a very soporific effect upon him; indeed, if I mistake not, he got into trouble on one occasion for falling asleep after dinner when he was on duty; he found that a drachm of Guarana entirely prevented this heaviness, and he did not experience that feeling of congestion ofithe head which occurs 60 often after a liberal meal.
