Overeating leads to disturbed sleep at Christmas
A good deal my own fault!~~'I took too much dinner!'~~~~(Mrs Caudle's Lectures)~~~~First published in Punch in 1845, the book Mrs Caudle's Lectures consisted of Mrs C giving petty lectures to her unfortunate husband - enacted in the matrimonial bed at the close of each day when he is compelled to lie and listen.~~~~This card plays upon this book with a new slant of cautionary tale, warning against the dangers of going to bed on a full stomach
