OPEN Your WINDOWS AT NIGHT
An extraordinary fallacy is the
dread Of night air. What air can we
breathe at night bat night air? The
choice Is between pure night air from
without and foul hir within. Most
people prefer the latter-sn uuac-
countable choice. What will they
say ii it is proved to be true that full
ly ono-third Of the diseases we suffer
from are occasioned by people sleep
Ing with their windows shut? An
open window most nights in the year
can never hurt any one. In great
cities night air 10 often the best and
purcst to be hal in twenty. four
hours. One could better understand
shutting the widows in town during
the day tbsn at night for the sake of
the sick The absence Of smoke, the
quiet, ell tend to mske night the best
time tor airing the patient. One OF
our highest medical authorities on
consumption aud climate has told me
that the air Of London 10 never 50

Always air your room, then, from
the outside air IL possible. Win.
