A New Departure.


Something of general public interest,
assuring healthful dwellings, and
protection against those subtle dis
eases that Turk in dark and noisome
places, has long been desired: :,
An important new invention devised
by our townsman, II. ?. X. Peck, Esq.
formerly principal examiner in the
United States Patent Office), late OF New
York, and now in practice as patent
solicitor in Downey Block, in this city,
will be patented to William IL. jackson
& Co., of Union Square, New York. That
old reliable firm, established in 1927 will
manufacture and supply the public
demand with this valuable invention.
The invention consists in perfect
method of warming, ventilating and puri-
flying the air circulated in dwelling
houses.
1t is fact of great significance that at
the present day nearly all OF the most
stubborn and fatal dieases are "indoor
Diseases" that is, they are contracted
by reason of living in over.heated and
illy-ventilated houses and apartments, in
which the rooms, and especially the
sleeping rooms, particularly in closely
built cities, are not provided with effect
i've means of ventilation consistent with
the keeping up of proper uniform degree
of warmth.
Typhoid and malarial diseases, diphthe-
ria and scarlet fever, OF late years so
prevalent originate from the causes just
mentioned impure air, the vitiated and
stagnant air of close apartments, par
ticularly bedrooms without adequate
ventilation. Impure air is the generator
of all malignant affections, and those
who breathe it are not conscious OF its
poisonous effects.
Hot air furnaces tend to increase sick
ness, it they do not generate disease in
numerous cases. Open CRATES are
preferable, but they DO not induce suf-
ficient supply of fresh air; nor can they
cleanse and purify the air as it enters
apartments.
This new ventilating fireplace, which
will be known as an improvement on the
"Sanitary Crate" produced by said firm,
causes continuous change of the air Of
an apartment in which it is used, by the
introduction of fresh external air and the
expulsion of the air before it becomes
impure.
Besides the novel provision for per-
| feet mbustion of the smoke and gas
directly among the air-heating fues
which augments the heating capacity, q
prominent deeideratum in this new
means and method, consists in the COM
bination with the Sanitary Crate" of a
purifying filtering diaphragm located in
the hot air chamber of the fireplace,
which is kept moistened by water which
NAV be tinctured or impregnated with
any agreeable aromatic odors; such,
| for instance, as those OF the
leaves of the pine or cedar,
orange peel, caesia and similar
substances or carbolic acid and other
disinfectants as we'll as the pleasantly
odorous substances may be used.
These may be commingled with or
saturated in the water ofthe tank with
which the fltering diaphragm commu'
nicates in the hot air chamber through
which the fresh heated air must pass tc
enter an apartment.
These provisions furnished by this val
liable new structure, render the ventil-
ating and disinfecting fire place invala.
able as protection against subtle ano
epidemic diseases. The aromatic fragrant
atmosphere VIII CHI, as introduced, is fiji
tered and renewed by naturally induced
circulation, is grateful to the invalid, anc
a perfect ward against those ipsidiou'
diseases so prevalent, and which are
known as "indoor Diseases"
People who pursue outdoor avocations
as rule, are not subject to such affec
tions, which is evidence that the inhal
ing of stagnant impure air of close apart
ments is the cause of the commonly pre-
valent diseases of men, women and par
ticularly children, who are confnee
mainly to indoor life.
Every hospital should avail itself o
the advantages of this novel health-pro
noting invention.
The essential elements ofthis fireplace
may be readily adapted in chimneys
without alterations.
The great value of this new fireplace
will cause it to supersede all other meth
DDS of warming and ventilating houses
as it at once commends itself to all intel
ligent people.
