Medical Science and Ventilation,
edmond Times-Dispatch.

From the Richmond Times Dispatch
Surely it was not very long ago that
the doctors were telling us that the
headaches. nausea and exhaustion that
accompanied any prolonged stay in ILL
ventilated rooms were caused by the
depletion of the stock of oxygen in the
air, with the resulting formation of
| carbon dioXide. Comes now an au-
thority no less potent, grave and rev.
erend than the Journal Of the Ameri-
can Medical Association to inform us
that this chemical reaction is exactly
like the flowers that bloom in the
spring. in that it has nothing to do
with the case.
The writer in the journal suddenly
renembers-his recollection must have
been sudden, because decade or less
ago the fact it enShrineS had no place
in the warnings of the health depart
ment-that "it is necessary to go only
IL short distance up into the mountains
to come under an atmospheric pressure
| such as to reduce the oxygen supply
Ipuch more than il is reduced in crowd
| ed assemblies, and yet mountain air is
| especially healthful" And then he
/ adds that1the amount of oxygen in the
| air apparently has little or nothing to
do with the stimulating or depressing
properties of the atmosphere breathed
in ordinary life
| 1t Is the same thing with carbon
| dioxide. Evidently" says this de-
stroyer of all our most fondly cherish
ed theories, "a quantity of carbon
dioxide far exceeding the highest hy
| gieuic limit which has hitherto been
! set up as !. standard can be breathed
! with inpunity' And the iconoclast
deals smashing blows also to the theory
/ that toxic organic matter or bacteria
/ - ho nah q of
| ing any decided harm.
/ He reduces it finally to matter of
heat and humidity. Rooms are too
warm, he concludes, and their atnos-
phcre overburdened with moisture
| That is all. Apparently the person
| most competent to advise on questions
| of ventilation is not the physician or
! the chemist but the heating engineer
In desperate emergencies even that
| ong-suffering, but ingenious. person,
| the plain citizen. may be able himself
to raise "A window or open some of the
| furnace doors.
