THE Doc DAYs.-Ifecoutions. for Torn and Cbu,,-

often been dsrided but is, nevertheless, substau-

about the subject gives some facts and hints worth
remembering Itsays:

chambers are healthier than second-story ones !;

yapors, being heavier than the atmosphere settle

prevailed in Philadelphia, at the close of the last
century, DIR. Rush observed that those who occu-
pied apartments in the third story were far less
liable TO attack than those who slept on the ground
