The Fresh Air Cure.

Plenty of fresh, pure air is an essential part of a patient’s treatment. Pure air is just as important and necessary for good health as are pure food and pure water. Fresh air and sunlight are the cheapest and best agents for the recovery of an 111 person. Let fresh air and sunlight enter your sick rooms, through open windows as much as possible. Expose the bed clothing to the open air and sunshine for some time each day. Sleep with the bedroom windows open, says nurse. The old superstition that night air is unhealthy even for an invalid is entirely false. On the contrary, night air, especially in large is purer and better than day air, because it contains less dust and fewer microbes. . To get the best ventilation have the window open at both top and bottom.
