Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Housekeeper's Reference Book and Domestic Counselor
Air, fresh, pure air and plenty of it, is absolutely necessary -to good health. Everyone should try at all times to secure and enjoy a maximum of the precious life-sustaining element, and yet many 'ignorantly and unnecessarily deprive themselves of as much of it as they can manage to exist without, thereby rendering themselves less able to resist insidious attacks of disease. When even that dread scourge, that fearful white man's plague, consumption, if taken in time, can be cured by making the patient live in the fresh air all the time, it would seem that the most ignorant and stubborn ought to be convinced that only in fresh air can one seek health and only in fresh air can health and vigor be maintained. As air is the material most needed by our bodies, we should always have an abundance at hand, and be sure it is (ff the very best quality. Many of our hours are spent indoors, and this teaches us' the important lesson of airing our homes. It should also be remembered that fresh air is easier to warm than stale air.
