9. lappuse - I no longer dread mere moisture, either in air, or in sheets gr shirts; and I find it of importance to the happiness of life, the being freed from vain terrors, especially of objects that we are every day exposed inevitably to meet with.

Keep your houses open and your windows hoisted during the day in good weather, and from ten. o'clock until four in the afternoon, that they may have the full benefit of sunlight and free circulation of pure air. During the remaining hours of the day, and through the night, keep the windows closed.
9. lappuse - ... is not the mere water contained in damp air, but the volatile particles of corrupted animal matter mixed with that water, which renders such air pernicious to those who breathe it. And I imagine it a cause of the same kind that renders the air in close rooms, where the perspirable matter ':, breathed over and over again by a number of assembled people, so hurtful to health.
