An estraordiQary fallacy is the dread of night air. What air can we breathe at night but night air ? The ofaoice is betwetn puro night air froin without or vitiated uight air witbin. Most peopls 'prefer the latter. An unaccountable choice. What wil] they eay if it is proved to bo truo tbat fally one-half of all the discases we suffer from is oecasioned by people slcepiog with their wíddows shut ? Ad opon window, most nights in tho year, can never hurt any ono. This is not to sny that light is not neeceesary for reoovery. In great eities, night air is often the best and pureët air to be had in twenty-four honrs. I could bctter understand shutting tbe wiudows in town during the day than during the uight, for the sake of the sick. The absence of smoke, the quiet, all tend to raake a uight the beet time for airing the patiënt. One of the highest medical authorities on consumption and climate has told me that the air of London is never so good as after ten o'clock at night. Always air your rooms, tlien, from the outsidc air, if possiblo. Windows are made to open, doors, are mado to shut - a trutb which seeuis esceedingly diflicuH of apprehonsion. Every room must be aired from without - every passage from witha. But tho fewer passages thcro are ia an lioapital the bctter. - Florence Nighi inguïe.
