Coughs and Bad Air.

n writer IN q recenL issue Oh
the Popular Science Monthly
tells of two patients whose ca
ses may warn and encourage
those troubled with coughs.
"Thc reader" he says, twill al
low me to recite the case of a
patient of mine. A year ago,
during his honeymoon, | con-
graduated him, and told him
dry cough with which he was
troubled was durable, provided
be took care TO live in the open
air as much as possible, inuring
himselftC cold, sleeping in we'll
ventilated chambers, free from
dust, etc. But this advice was
hardly relished by the young
man. In October they hired
rooms in a house that had just
been built; its 'dampness' they
remcdied by keeping up fires
steadily. The windows are
hardly ever opened, as the house
stood on a windy corner, and
the husband was growing more
and more sensitive to cold; for
this reason, too, he seldom went
out Of doors, In November he
took his bed; was again about;
but he gradually declined, to
the last hoping to recover.
Different was the course follow
ed by Mr.. H., who, emaciated
and troubled with a cough, had
Il hemosrhage after contracting
a Severe cold He went into
the country, took as much ex-
ercise as he could in the open
air, and returned home with on
y slight cough. At homo
he every morning took warm
bath, with illusions of cold wa
ter, avoiding rooms with bad
air, etc. In six months be was
free from his cough, appeared
to be well nourishcd, and no
longer had any fear Of taking
cold. If the reader will dispas-
sionately compare these two ca
ses, he will agree with me that
the first patient, who never had
hemorrhage, fell victim to the
action Of foul air; while Ii. used
to say, Il must give to my dis
eased lungs above all things
fresh air, as the prime neces-
slry of Iife.' ANIMALS never
take cold, even in winter; there
fore among men it must be a
result of wrong habit if air does
any harm. We know that
gold-fshes quickly peris h
when fresh water is not provi-
ded for them, and, when We
were boys, we used to consider
it cruelty to animals if we made
no openings for ventilation in
the boxes in which we kepi
