One wise doctor in a late

The fact Is that air robbed of oxy

(exhaled air) mingles freely with the
other air In a room, Just as dirty water
poured Into a vessel of clean water will
befoul the entire contents. In cool
weather there Is something of a draft

cold air outside rushing In below. But

effected by openings at different sides
