George Catlin's classic work, where he passionately supports the practice of closing the mouth whilst breathing, is reproduced here in full including his illustrations.In the author's opinion, closing the mouth is a way of ensuring a better mood and overall state in life. His lively illustrations contrast a person whose mouth is often open - whether during sleep or waking hours - with an individual whose mouth is generally shut. Catlin's opinions were never accepted into the medical canon, but remain interesting in their historical context; Catlin was a painter and writer who spent years living among and painting members of various Native American tribes, gaining great admiration for their lifestyle and culture.Complimenting Catlin's other book on this subject - Shut Your Mouth and Save Your Life - The Breath of Life discusses more of the author's personal experiences and encounters. His respect and high regard for the Native Americans is evident as Catlin observes how many tribesmen and women keep their mouths closed. Even the mouths of Native American babies are closed by their mothers as they sleep; a practice Catlin believes helps the infant retain an even temper and serene appearance later in life.

George Catlin (July 26, 1796 - December 23, 1872) Was an American painter, author, and traveler who specialized in portraits of Native Americans in the Old West. Travelling to the American West five times during the 1830s, Catlin was the first white man to depict Plains Indians in their native territory George Catlin was born in Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. As a child growing up in Pennsylvania, Catlin had spent many hours hunting, fishing, and looking for American Indian artifacts. His fascination with Native Americans was kindled by his mother, who told him stories of the western frontier and how she was captured by a tribe when she was a young girl. Years later, a group of Native Americans came through Philadelphia dressed in their colorful outfits and made quite an impression on Catlin. His early work included engravings, drawn from nature, of sites along the route of the Erie Canal in New York State. Several of his renderings were published in one of the first printed books to use lithography, Cadwallader D. Colden's Memoir, Prepared at the Request of a Committee of the Common Council of the City of New York, and Presented to the Mayor of the City, at the Celebration of the Completion of the New York Canals, published in 1825, with early images of the City of Buffalo. Following a brief career as an attorney, Catlin produced two major collections of paintings of American Indians and published a series of books chronicling his travels among the native peoples of North, Central, and South America. Spurred by relics brought back by the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-1806 owned by his friend, Charles Willson Peale, and claiming his interest in America's 'vanishing race', sparked by a visiting American Indian delegation in Philadelphia, he set out to record the appearance and customs of America's native peoples
