Superstitions Concerning Night Air
Many have been taught from childhood that night air is positively
injurious to health, and therefore must be excluded from their rooms.
[60]
To their own injury they close the windows and doors of their sleeping
apartments, to protect themselves from the night air which they say
is so dangerous to health. In this they are deceived. In the cool of the
evening it may be necessary to guard from chilliness by extra clothing;
but they should give their lungs air.... Many are suffering from disease
because they refuse to receive into their rooms at night the pure night
air. The free, pure air of heaven is one of the richest blessings we can
enjoy.—
