Now, from this will come some light, I think on the apparently
contradictory theories, if we could ascertain: (1) Which position did
the renowned Garga and Markandeya contemplate as the proper position for
men to sleep in? (2) In which position did those on whom Baron von
Reichenbach experimented lie?
This is a most important question for all who value the gift of health,
as well as for those who would be wise. In my sojourn in southern
countries I have noticed that the natives of the lower classes at least
always sleep on their stomachs, with their back turned to the sun, and
all animals do the same, while sleeping on the back is most dangerous,
at least in the sun. Is not this a guide or hint as to the true
position?
