nearly perfect when supplied with a
wood fire, the brisk blaze vf which ere.
ates a strong ascending current, and con.
tinually carries of the ever accuuulatiug

IF there is ne fireplace. a window
opened a short distance from the roou IN
which the patient is lying, and one let
down from the top ia the sthsr large
room, with the doors opened between
the two, will form an sffectual draught
during any but the warm days Of summer,
aud will not be too strong for the most
delicate patient who is protected from
the direct draugbt by the high head
board of the bed. ln cold weather the
window opened from the bottom will often
be found sufficient. On very cold days
We may trust to an ent,ro change OF air
several times each day, effected by raising
all the windows fer u few moments at q
time, during which the patient must be
thoroughly protected by extra blankets,
and u shawl about the head.
If stoves are the only means of heating
the apartments, a perpetual burner
(ceaD may be used 10 one room to keep
both at an even temperature, during day
and night, but the sleeping room should
be provided with a wood stove; the
brisk blaze in this answering to some
extent the purpose of fire in an open
