An old writer says, when men lived
in houses of reed they had constitu-
lions Of oak: when they lived in houses
Of oak they had constitutions of reeds. !"
This is a picturesque description Of the
injury which may come to us from
fine houses too closely confined to keep
out the fresh air and too heavily cur
tained, preventing the entrance Of sun
shine, which is almost If not quite as
important as air. But it is not at all
necessary to have our fine houses I'M
healthy. and it requires only intelli-
gence and thoughtfulness to render a
brick house as good promoter of
health as a cabin. Fresh air will come
into well ventilated modern houses as
well as through the open cracks Of a
house Of reeds and sunlight through a
window in a palace as well as howell.
