nerally speaking, during winter, apartments are too much
heated. The temperature in them ought not to exoecslls
deg. Centigrade (59 do-'. Fab.), and even in periods of great

not be exceeded. la the wards of hospitals, and in the
chambers of the sick. care is taken not to have greater
heat than 15 deg. Clerks in offices, and other persons of
sedentary occupations, when the rooms in which they sit
are too much heated, are liable to cerebral contrition and
to pulmonary complaints. In bedrooms, and particularly
those of children, the temperature ought to be maintained
rather low • it is even prudent only rarely to make tires In
them, especially during the night. Is addition to keeping
up only a moderate temperature, the windows of all rooms,
whatever the weather, ought to be opened fur a time every
day. en as to renew the air."
