Bed-Rooms
As one-third of our existence is spent
in our chambers, in the unconscious
happiness of sleep, and as good health
is impossible without the habitual'
breathing of a healthy atmosphere, the
importance of inhaling pure air is self
evident. No sleep can be sound and
healthful unless the person is comfort
ably, warm ; and mann man who has
gone to bed is health has awakened
with is mortal malady, / or one involv
ing life-long suffering, by having been
exposed to a draft of air upon some
part of the body while asleep, either
from an open door, an open window, a
broken pane, or an unstopped crevice.
Three things, then, are mdispensable
to the healthfulness of a bet-chamber ;
we must he corntoitably warm, must
not be exposed 'to drafts of air, and
must bo supplied with a pure air, not
very cold. A great deal has been wit
ten about sleeping with window sky
lights, sons to let in all out of doors;
none hut monomaniacs or .born fools

hn~c met their deaths by means of an
open window exposing them to a sud
den change in the weather during the
night ; and certainly the safeside is the
best.

in an open tire-place .1W night, and air
enough will come in at the vrevices of
the doors and wiialows to create a
current, driving the bad air up the
chimney.

window may lie hoisted lint there are
eomparaniely so few nights during the
car to make it sate to it. so, that the
fire or oisin inner door is preferable.—
There is no nilvantng,e in going to bed
or undressing in a cold room ; all in
valids and sedentary persons should
undress, sleep and rise in a room not
lower than fifty degrees; nail if it was
sesenty while rising, so much the bet
ter The old, the sedentary and the
sickly should sleep on feather boils in
