that the blood may be duly oxygenlzeu, tine
respiration must be more active A person
living in mountainous regions, breathing, as
he does, more actively than one living on
lower plane, has more fully developed lungs
and larger chest 1t would seem proper,
therefore, that those who have narrow
chests and a tendency to lung diseases will
do well to spend a month or two in the sum-
mer in high attitudes and in climbing noun
tain sides. / have frequently witnessed the
good results of such course of life. The
greater part of New Mexico, for instance, is
from 5000 to 1000 feet above the level Of the
sea. / have seen many weak, puny, narrow
chested men and women who, at their homes
on the seaboard, painted violently from the
slightest exertion, become after few months
residence in Santa Fe strong and ruddy, with
their breathing capacity greatly increased,
and able to walk briskly two or three miles,
or climb upto the top of a steep mesa with
out losing their wind
Again, the air of mountains possesses a
greater amount Of ozone than that of the
seashore. What particular effect ozone may
have upon the health of man has not yet been
clearly made out. In some directions it seems
TO be absolutely injurious. There is good
evidence to show that it is often productive
of bronchial affections and especially infiu-
enza. During an epidemic of this disease an
increased amount Of ozone has been found in
the atmosphere. On the other hand, there is
no doubt that ozone is a great purifier of the
atmosphere, and it is doubtless owing to the
increased amount of this agent in the air of
mountain regions that its salubrity is in
great measure due / have subjected putres
cent meat and vegetables 20 the action OF
ozone, and invariably the bad smell was at
once corrected. 1t r!ay. therefore, be re
garded as the destroyer of certain germs
which are capable of producing disease.-Dr
William A. Hammond.

Precautions in Bathing

We have already called attention in Science
to tine danger of injury ~ the ear in bathing
as described by DR.. Samuel Sexton. The
London Lancet, in the following language,
directs attention to still another danger. The
bathing season, though Tot yet advanced, has
already been marked by the levy of that fatal
tribute which year by year is exacteu Of the
ignorant and tie indiSG'eet. The recent
death by drowning OF young man in the
public baths at Poplar suggests one cause OF
accident which is too APT TO be overlooked
The deceased had entered tae water soon after
partaAing of a hearty meal, and the fatal
result was attributed to cerebral congestion
due to sudden imniv r>.on Ut such d time.
What may have been the particular ap-
pearances observed after death in this case
we have no means Of judging, but it may be
well TO consider shortly some reasons why
the practice of bathing soon after meals is
justly condemned. Effuson Of blood III or
upon the brain, when it orcurS i'll such cases
as that already referred to, is probably not @
primary cause of mischief, but rather a COLI
sequence founded on other circulatory and
nervous disturbances. 1t is an evidence Of
eclampsia, and the physiological bass upon
which this is founded cou.,stS il tl&t inward
diversion Of blood toward the a.Irlcr:ary
tract which characterizes Lo:!:-si digestion:
the other tissues, notably the brain, being at
the same time proportionally anemic, aud
the action of heart and lungs impeded by
distended stomach A natural result Of cold
immersion at this stage is to encourage or in
duce a tendency to syncope, to concentrate
surface blood still more about the central
organs, including the heart, which, especially
if at all unequal to its duties, labors inetfectu-
ally to readjust the blood pressure, and finally
succumbs with lungs and venous system en-
gorged by passive congestion. 1t is as if an
enemy occupied the outworks of a fortress
left for a time unguarded, and forthwith
paralyzed the resistance of the citadel Its
best, therefore, to wait for at least an hour
and half or two hours after good meal
before bathing
