The digestion should be taxed to dispose of rich-made dishes. Before going to bed take a sponge bath in tepid water. Sponge lightly and quickly, and dry the skin without unneooessary friction.

Keep the gas turned down low during the process of undressing, and sleep without a light, unless it is a tiny night lamp.
