Excerpt: . . . insalubrious, unless well ventilated; and the case is rendered worse by the closed shutters of the windows, and by the thick curtains with which the beds are so carefully surrounded, as if to prevent the possibility of the air being renewed. The consequence is that the occupants are breathing vitiated air during the greater part of the night, or in other words, during one-half of their lives. In such cases, says Sir James Clarke, the atmosphere in the morning smells more like that of a charnel house, than an apartment for the repose of human beings. But insert a ventilator, like that described in page 65, beneath one of the windows at the bottom of the room, for the admission of fresh air; and one of Arnott, s improved ventilators in the chimney breast at the top of the room, for the extraction of the foul air; and then, instead of restlessness and languor, you will have sound and refreshing sleep, almost equal to the result obtainable by a change of air in a country excursion. Next to the regular admission of air, the furniture of a bed-room deserves some little attention. The free circulation of the air should never be impeded by large sofas, easy chairs, or heavy draperies, composed of absorbent materials, with which we see bed-rooms so often encumbered. Let us rather take the chamber of the illustrious Duke of Wellington as almost a model bed-room, and arrange our own somewhat in the following manner: --an iron bedstead, or one of wood, it matters but little so that it is of a simple form, placed nearly north and south, with the feet set in glass cups--the common thick glass salt-cellars answer the purpose exceedingly well--not nearer to any wall than from twelve to eighteen inches, and not in contact with. . .
