Persons who are unfortunate
enough to live in damp houses, particu
larly near undrained land, are apt tt
think that there is no help for then
save in removal. Land says they art
mistaken, and states that experiments
have shown that it is possible to mate
rally improve the atmosphere in sucl
neighborhoods in very simple manne
by the planting of the laurel and th,
suntlower. The laurel gives off al
abundance of ozone, whilst the "soul
ful-eyed" sunilower is potent in de
stoying the malarial condition. Thes
two, if planted on the most restricted
scale in garden, close to the house
will be found to speedily increase tn
dryness and salubrity of the atmosphere
and rheumatism, if it does not entirel
become memory of the past, will b
largely alleyiated.
