Popular Fallacies.

Journal of Health. There may
be something in the suggestions
thrown out which will be yalua-
BILE:
That warm air must be impure,
and that, consequently, it is hurt
full to sleep in a comparatively
warm room. A warm room is as
easily ventilated as cool one.
The warm air of a close vehicle is
less injurious, be it ever SO foul.
from crowding, than, to ride and
sit still and feel unconifbrtably
cold for an hour. The worst that
can happen from a crowded con-
veyance is fainting spell; while.
from sitting even less than an hour
in a still, chilly atmosphere, has
induced attacks of pneumonia,
that is, inflammation of the lungs.
which often prove fatal in three or
four days. 1t is always positively
injurious to sleep in a close room
where water freezes, because such
degree Of cold causes the mega
lively poisonous carbonic acid gas
of a sleeping room to settle near
the floor, where it is hreathed
and rebreathed by the sleeper.
and is capable of producing ty.
phoid fevers in a few hours.
Hence, there is no advantage, and
always danger, especially to weak.
ly persons, in sleeping in an at
mosphcre colder than the freezing
point.
That it is necessary to the pro.
per and efficient ventilation of a
room, even in warm weather, that
window or door should be left
open; this is always hazardous
to the sick and convalescent.
Quite assafe plan for ventilation.
and as efficient, is to keep a lamp
or a small fire burning in the fire.
place. This creates a draft. and
carries bad airs and gasses up the
chimney.
That outdoor exercise before
breakfast is healthful. 1t is never
SO. And, from the very nature of
things, is hurtful, especially to per.
sons OF poor health; although the
vigorous may practice it with i'm.
punity. In winter the BODY j.
easily chilled through and through.
unless the stomach has been forti.
he'd with a good warm breakfast
and IN warm weather, miasmatio
malarlous gases and emapations
speedily act upon the empty and
weak stomach in way to vitiate
the circulation, and induce fever
and ague, diarrhea and dvseute.
ry; entire families, who have ar.
ranged to eat breakfast before leav.
ing the house and to take supper
before sundown, have had a com.
plete exemption from fever and
ague, while the whole community
around them was suffering from It.
from having neglected these nre.
cautions.
That whatever lessons cough Is
good forit, and, if persevered in,
will cure it. On the contrary. ali
coughs are soonest cured by pro.
noting and increasing them: be.
cause nature endeavors bv the
cough to help bring up the pblegm
and yellow matter which is in the
lungs, as the lungs cannot heal
whiie that matter is there. And
as 1t cannot be got rid of witbont
the more coughing there
Is the sooner it is got rid off. the
sooner are the lungs cleared ont
Tor the fuller and freer recent;on
of pure air, which is their natural
Iood. The only remedies which
can do any good in coughs are
such as loosen the phleem. and
thus less cough is required to bring
y up. These remediesare warmth.
exercise, and anything
which slightly nauseates.
