The iconstantly accumulating impurities *derived from breath, from perspira- tion, from exereta of other kinds col- lected in sleeping rooms, from the use of gas or lamp light, and too often, even now, by suction of lamp of sew & gas from waste pipes, by the heat of house fires, etc., render it as necessary for health as for comtort, that these should be substituted by the pure outer air.
