I must mentioD, first several recrea tions whk'h are peculiary injurious to eonsumptives. Of these, the thoatre is perhaps Uic worst. - How aay sauc in vnlid oí' this class can sit four hours in tlic vilo atmophere of one of these dons amazcij me. Should a patiënt of mine bélongirrg to this class, attend a thoatre 1 should fuöl conscentiously impellod to abandon his case at once, Whatever niay be Baid of its moráis, tho íttmos phere of the placo is abominable. Lan gwage úiiuost as strong may be applied to the eoucert-room and to fashionable par ties. A young lady with coiisuinptive Saint goes llirough tho fashiouable rounc (jf tüoatres, partios, and concerts. A the same time sho is swullowing eod-liver oil, and wcariog counterirritauts. Can atiything be more absurd and pitiful ? - Gamas of oards, chess, draughts, etc., in whiuh tho playors are pretty sure to si ki heatod rooms, with drooping shoulders nuil litlle iñotión, are all injurious. _ . - j j h. k. - -
