Description:Excerpt from Women, Plumbers, and Doctors: Or Household Sanitation The human body is an organism that requires for its growth, development, and maintenance in health, a combination of forces far more complex and delicate than ever went to the perfecting of the finest field Of wheat and, in order to understand what the ideal sanitary conditions are, we must begin at the begin ning, and inquire what the ideally healthy body needs. How do we live - Nine persons out Of ten would answer, by food and drink, entirely ignoring the in uence Of the great invisible ocean in which we live and move and have our being. It is justly called vital air, for if you deprive a man Of it completely for five minutes he dies. Fill a ower-pot with suitable earth, and plant a slip of ivy in it, and supply it with water it will form a growth Of vines and leaves that will out weigh many times the earth and water. One grown in a quart pot formed the decoration Of a large room, and, when taken down, filled a large wash-tub. Whence came this growth? It was elaborated from the carbonic acid of the atmosphere, sent out from the millions Of fires and furnaces and chimneys on the earth, and countless myriads of human lungs. Although carbonic acid constitutes but one two-thousandth part of the whole air, Professor Dalton computes that there are rather more than thirty tons of it above each acre Of ground. If this could be concentrated into a tangible form, like so much coal or sand, we should begin to form some notion Of the amount Of material dissolved in the air.
