PLANTS IN BEDROOMS.

cheer and comfort to the sick and suf-
fering.
At night the case is different. Then
all plants and flowers are removed
from hospital wards. because they ex-
hale the carbonic acid which they have
gathered from the soil and air and
thus give off by process similar to
respiration a gas which is injurious.
We may therefore conclude that dur
ing the hours Of darkness. when the
respiratory process is active and the
nutritive is al Il standstill. plants should
have no place in our bedrooms. What
Is prudent in spacious wards Is imper-
ative in smaller chambers.
