London In 1765.


NJ Grosley, who visited London in
1865, notes that the old pious salutation
of any one who sneezed, which still pre-
vailed in his own country, had been
abolished in England by the use of snuff.
He was given to understand that to sa-
lutte snuff taker in these circumstances
was like complimenting him on the col
or of the hair of his wig. This color, by
the way, he announces in another place,
is usually brown, being chosen as least
affected by the mud and dirt of the
streets. This ingenious explanation, like
his statement that Pope was not buried
in Westminster abbey because he was a
Catholic, and that Queen Anne in st.
Paul's churchyard wears hoop, seems
to suggest that some of his obliging in
formants must occasionally, in eight
eenth century parlance, have treated M.
Grosley to "bite. But, in saying
that his chapter of clubs is disappoint-
ing, it must not be forgotten that he
visited one very remarkable specimen of
this all popular Georgian institution
the society of "Robin Hoodians, at
whose freethinking discussions Fielding

DR.. sHRADY ON VENTILATION.
Some Venerable Theories ON This Subject
That Have Been Exploded.

Some Venerable Theories on This Subject
That Have Been Exploded.
The effect of expired air upon animal
life is the subject of an interesting arti-
Gle in The Medical Record by DR..
George f. Shrady, its editor. "We need
not, says DIR. Shrady, emphasize the
evil effects of what is usually called bad
ventilation. It is perhaps true that
acute diseases are not to be traced to
the same, but it may be safely stated
that there is distinct deterioration Of
vital forces in those who are constantly
subjected 10 the impure atmosphere Of
badly ventilated rooms. The cause Of
the sickening sensation which comes
over us upon entering an atmosphere
contaminated with many breaths or Of
the gradual deterioration Of the vital
forces which follows confinement in such
an atmosphere is not known. For a
number of years prior to 1888 the view
prevailed that the discomfort and dan
ger to health and life in badly ventilat-
ed rooms were largely due to organic
matters contained in the air expired,
and that the increase in carbonio acid
due to respiration has but little effect in
producing the bad results. Recently,
however, several experimenters have
concluded that the organic matters in
the exhaled breath are not harmful, at
least to animals.
Referring to recent experiments on
the subject. DR.. SArady says: "The re-
suits justify the conclusion that the dis
comfort felt in crowded, i'll ventilated
rooms is not due to excessive carbonio
acid or to bacteria or in most cases
to dusts Of any kind, but is in reality
due to excessive temperature and un-
pleasant odors. Nothing in these ex-
periments shows the cause of the un-
pleasant, musty odor Of an unventilated
room, and attention is called to the
curious fact that cases of fainting in
crowded rooms usually occur in women
and are connected, the authors think,
with defective respiratory action due
to tight lacing. Finally these investi-
cations, the authors declare, go to prove
that some of the theories upon which
modern systems of ventilation are based
are either without foundation or doubt
full, and that the problem Of securing
comfort and health in inhabited rooms
requires the consideration of the best
methods of preventing or disposing Of
dust of various kinds, of regulating
temperature and moisture and of carry
ing off poisonous gases derived from
heating and lighting apparatus rather
than of simply diluting the air to cer-
tain standard of proportion of carbonio
acid present. -

good athlete, nor does he develop well from
such exercises without his full share of

there is provided something which, if al
