Don't BE Afraid of Cold Air.

A London physician n an acticIe
In an English magazine among other
things has this TO say about breath

To suppose that the constant in
halation Of impure air has a tendency
TO excite the symptoms Of con ump.

We consider the wonderful mechanism
OF the lungs and the efforts which
they are continually employing 10
throw off the poisons Of a corrupted
air which has been breathed again
and again, until its foulness has be-
CONF unbearable, and even worse
empowering. one drop Of the fuid
condensed from the air which has
come from the lungs has been found
sufficiently powerful TO cause instant
death. Is il Il wonder that many
arr wasting away and slowly dying
ulon this destructive food:
The fear Of causing cold has caused
more sickness than all the colds that
ever we're caught" With this pcev.
In dread many strip up their doors,
bind up their windows, and look upon
every puff of wind as il it were some
keen thief who had come to rob them
Of their lives.
This custom prevails mostly among
the better class. or the rich" as
they are termed. The poor man.
who's comforts are confined TO a
little frame house, is seldom heard 10
complain: and his children are always
hale and hearty, in spite o. the many
draughtS which come in through the
cracks and the rents Of every door

tributes the great 81 boon toward the
health and happiness Of all classes Of
humanity.
