The Influence of Fresh Air
Air, air, the precious boon of heaven, which all may have, will bless
you with its invigorating influence, if you will not refuse it entrance.
Welcome it, cultivate a love for it, and it will prove a precious soother
of the nerves. Air must be in constant circulation to be kept pure. The
influence of pure, fresh air is to cause the blood to circulate healthfully
through the system. It refreshes the body and tends to render it strong
and healthy, while at the same time its influence is decidedly felt upon
the mind, imparting a degree of composure and serenity. It excites the
appetite, and renders the digestion of food more perfect, and induces
sound and sweet sleep.—
