And it is especially remarkable that the oc.
eupanis of such room or chamber, whose
lnhalations are the cause of this unpleasant
odor, are themselves unconscious of its of
tensiveness and impurity. This is due to
the fact that ii has gradually invaded their
oliactories, stealing mperceptibly over their
sense OF smell, and its acuteness. Let any
one. after a nights occupation of chamber
with the windows and doors closed, leave il
and breathe the external air for few minu-
tes. and then return 10 the chamber before

ceive what is here alluded to, and may feel
astonished at his having escaped suffocation
