IMPURE AIR.
Indoor air, as all thoughtful people are aware, should be frequently renewed by proper ventilation. The best method of accomplishing this lias been for many years a subject closely studied by sanitarians. In rooms, and especially in bedrooms, the fireplace should always bo left unclosed, and the flue or damper open for ventilation. The windows should ho pulled down from tho top, and up from the bottom.. All rooms, and especially sleeping . apartments, should be w r ell aired during the day. Close bedroom air is considered by eminent medical authorities, to be one of the most potent causes of consumption and scrofula. A wellknown French physician who has devoted much attention to studies of this nature, says: "It will often be found, on examination, that scrofulous diseases are caused by vitiated air, and it is not always necessary that there should have been: a prolonged stay in such an atmosphere. Only a lew ( hours each day is sufficient; and a person may live in a; most'healthy district, pass the greater part of each day in the open air, and yet become scrofulous because of sleeping in a confined place where the air is not renewed."
