Hello, welcome to the Bore You to Sleep podcast, the podcast that will hopefully help you get to sleep.

I am going to read an open source book, one that is not particularly interesting, but one that is

hopefully boring enough to get you to sleep.

Tonight's reading comes from A Treatise on Adulterations of Food and Culinary Poisons by

Frederick Acum.

Published in 1820,

it's surprising to hear about the ways in which food was adulterated in the early 1800s.

My name is Teddy, and I aim to help people everywhere get a good night's rest.

Sleep is so important, and my mission is to help you and get the rest that you need.

The podcast is designed to play in the background while you slowly fall asleep.
