 Sleeping Apartments is all important that the largest and most lofty room, upon the second floor, be appropriated for tho sleeping apartment, and that it be freely ventilated during the day time at all seasons, hno very humid. There are few houses tho rooms of which are SO situated as to render the latter impracticable and the influence ofthe practice upon the health ofthe inmates, is too important to be neglected from any slight cause. t-~ ,55a .a. 4" Y~
 A bed-chamber should be divested of all unnecessary furniture, and unless of consid- erable size, should never contain more than one bed. There cannot be more perni- cious practice than that pursued in many families, of causing the children more espe- cially, to sleep in small apartments with two or three beds crowded into the same room. +.a- --- ~a &5 @st "t.-t
 It is scarcely necessary to observe that cleanliness, in the most extensive significa- ton of the term, is # possible, even more ne- cesSary in reference to the bed chamber, than to almost any other apartment. .~ S
 The practice of sleeping tn an apartment which is occupied during the day is extreme ly improper. Perfect cleanliness and suffi- cient pure ventilation cannot. under such circumstances. be preserved, especially du- ring cold weather; hence. the atmosphere becomes constantly more vitiated, and alto- gether united for respiration. ar.. While too great caution cannot be ob- served 10 avoid sleeping in damp rooms, beds, or clothing, the temperature ofthe bed- chamber should, if possible, never be aug mented, under the ordinary circumstances of health, by artificial means. As this apart mcnt is to be reserved solely for repose, a fire is never necessary, excepting, perhaps. during uncommOnly severe weather; and then the temperature ought not to exceed 90 degrees. ... s.... esr n4.t l,ar faa,-8 sleeping apartment, in which large fire has been kept for sevt,ral hours previous to the period of retiring to Tests may, 10 ma- ny. at tho first view, present an appearance of the most perfect comfort; it is, however, at the same time, means of very eifectually enervating the system, creating an increased susceptibility to the influence of the cold, and thus open the way to the attack of some of the most serious diseases, especially of the chest. Happy may they esteem themselves whose means forbid m indulgence in this species of luxury. ..., ..., .,...,..,. | A person accustomed to undress in room without fire, and to seek repose in cold bed, will not experience the least inconvenience, even in the severest weather. Tho natural heat of his body will very speedily render hin, even more comfortably warm than the individual who sleeps in heated apartment, and in bed thus artifcially warmed, and who will be extremely liable to sensation of chillincss as soon as tho artificial heat is dissipated. But this is not ali-the constitu- tion of the former will be rendered more TO- bust, and far less susceptible to the influence of atmospherical vicissitudes, than that of the latter.-Jop~pal ef Heath. ,....
