physicians claim that nearly all dangerous
throat diseases. as well as many other dis

In the day time, when the doors are being

the apartment, no matter how careful the
hOusewi ie is to exclude it, the rooms are
not quite a. poisonous a. during the night.
In the evening, the burning lamps dissent
nate foul gas in THE apartments Of the
family, and when the folks go TO bed they
carefully hasten up all the windows and
turn of the drafts TO the coal stove. This
