by Lawrence W. Onsager

Int. J. Orofac. Myol. Myofunct. Ther. 1980, 6(4), 7-10; https://doi.org/10.52010/ijom.1980.6.4.3 - 1 Oct 1980

Abstract

In 1861, George Catlin published a classic on mouth breathing titled The Breath of Life which is a contribution to the history of medicine, dentistry, and medical anthropology. Catlin, famous for his American Indian paintings and contributions to ethnography, believed that primitive Indians were healthier than civilized Europeans because they slept on their backs and breathed through their noses rather than their mouths.

Garrison and Morton list the book as the first published work in America on mouth breathing. Full article
