BREATHE PURE AIR.
The Necessity For Filling the Lungs ri
Each Inhalation.

The Necessity For Filling the Lungs aS
Each Inhalation.
Breathe pure air always In the lungs
a most important physiological process
occurs. 1t is from here that the blood
laden with oxygen is sent to all parts of
the body, giving off along it's course its
oxygen and taking up carbonic acid gas,
which it brings at last to the lungs,
when it is cast out in expiration. More
oxygen is taken in by inspiration and
the same process is repeated.
So let your breathing be full and deep,
going to the very bottom of the lungs
in order that all of the blood in them
may receive its full amount of oxygen
before again starting upon it's tour of
distribution through the body. Can one
use any more forcible argument in favor
of loose clothing than thisP It is abso-
lutely impossible to secure plenty of
oxygen if the clothing is worn at all
tight, and oxygen is a food which the
body must have always in abundance to
keep well.
The air leaving the lungs is laden with
that deadly poison carbonic acid gas,
which if given off in a close room when
the entrance of pure air soon renders
the air utterly unfit to breathe Perhaps
some night you will find yourself un-
able to sleep and tumble restlessly about
in bed. When this occurs, go to an open
window and inhale the fresh air, breath
ing slowly and deeply. A few minutes
of this and you can return to bed and
probably will soon be sleeping quietly.
What has happened? By its restlessness
the body was asserting its need of more
oxygen. Now you have given it what
it SO emphatically asked for, and it is
quiet. We get as much uneasiness and
disturbance from the want of this food
as when we do not eat enough, only the
symptoms are not SO well understood
nor recognized SO quickly. Always keep
your mouth closed and breathe through
your nose. Then the air is warmed,
slightly moistened and largely freed
from PARTICLES of dust, SO that when it
enters the lungs it does not irritate
them.
condition often met with by ply
sicians is an9mia. In this trouble the
patient is pale, lifeless looking, tired
and generally used up often without
being able to tell distinctly how she
does feel. Sometimes these patients say
that they have not enough blood It is
really only an element of the blood
which is wanting, but that is very
important one-namely, the red blood
corpuscle.
When you know that it is only those
corpuscles which have the power to take
up and carry oxygen, you see at once
how important it is that the blood
should not be lacking in them. Good,
wholesome food, plenty of it and well
digested will give you the corpuscles
Furnish them with the oxygen and the
body will have an important element

by this descent to the methods of the

July 81, 1868.

Among the 107 graduates at Yale last
week was Henry Lucius Washburn OF
Stafford Springs.
AS A. F. Cheney, of this village was
conveying portion of the band to the
congratulatory meeting at Staffordville last
Monday evening, his horse became fright
ened by the white cloths spread over some
hay cocks in an adjoining field, and turning
short around, ran into the fence, throwing
Mr.. Cheney with considerable force to
the ground, breaking his collar bone, and
one of his ribs. Frank Weston and G. F.
Lucas, members of the band, were also
thrown out, demolishing a brass instru-
ment in Mr.. Weston's hand, but not
seriously injuring either of those gentle
men. The horse was secured without
injury, and with the exception of a broken
shaft, the wagon was little hurt by the
mishap. ....# ... ..
Those who habitually drink the water
from the mineral spring (and there are
few hereabouts who dOn't), will rejoice
that it is now so enclosed that it can
neither be used for bathing tub or a spit
toon. Those who have had an opportu-
nifty to watch the spring have long been
disgusted with the nastiness of some of its
visitors. The spring, during the past
week, has been wholly cleaned out, newly
bricked cemented. wooden pump put in,
and the house newly fiored, railing put
up, and the whole newly painted. For
all of which, in behalf of our readers, we
venture to thank the gentlemen who have
raised the funds andput the thing through.
The contested election case of Stafford
came up in the legislature last Thursday.
The petitioners claim to an election was
sustained, Robert w. Andrews and David
E. Wilton taking their seats as members
from Stafford, in place of Richard S. Beebe
