better, and so die from ignorance. They
suffer the consequences of their ignorance,
law is held to be no excuse for dsobedience
or for crime.
Let us take them in order. Pure air. II
would seem that few need be denied that; it
has passed into a proverb, Gas free as the
air we breathe" And yet thousands die for
want of fresh air--from close rooms, crowd
ed workshops and work-rooms, damp and
dirty cellars and surroundings, close bed
rooms; true, people don't die at once as by
a musket-ball, but are poisoned and die by
inches. The poison at last brings on some
form of disease, and that is accused of kill
ing them when in truth they died of pois-
oned air.
The air does its best; it comes in at every
chink and corner, like a good friend, till it
