The way some people talk about
"salt air" might lead others to believe
that there might be a process invented
Of extracting salt from tile atmosphere.
Butthis is an a lie ana n1tthe proper
use Of language Did salt actually
exist in the atmosphere our lungs
would be in pretty pickle. salt is a
mineral substance and exists in air
about as much as iron or gold or brick
bats do. The salt air. SO much talked
ABOUT is remarkable chiefly as coming
from the ocean where by contact with
wave and spray it has been robbed Of
all its Impurities and is simply ocean
air. It's contaminated by none of the
impure gases or eXhalations from earth.
Being at the level Of the ocean it is
much denser than on mountain tops

panse of ocean it is perceptibly differ
