The reason the "electric fan cold" is
SO often accompanied by sore throat
is, according to a doctor whose loca.
ton brings him many such cases, that
the draught made by the fan carries so
much dust with it. "The fact isl says
this authority, that the air stirred by
the fan is not fresh air, unless the fan
is backed up against an open window.
When operating in an inside room or
in similar places, where, it is most ap.
preciated, the fan uses the same air
over and over, and this air gathers up
and keeps in motion all the available
dust.
