Article #26 - Sleeping with Plants

Why is it unhealthy to sleep in a room where plants are growing

In order to answer this question we must consider what are the componants [sic] of Atmosp-

heric air ––– “It is chiefly composed of Oxygen and Nitrogen gases.” Animals of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen & Nitrogen Vegetables of Carbon, Hydrogen & Oxygen gases. The action of Atmospheric air is as necessary for supporting Vegetable as Animal life therefore plants growing absorb the Oxygen and liberates the Nitrogen which is unfit for respiration being deprived of the Oxygen which is the great vivifying constituent of Animal life. When we respire the air undergoes a radical change is robbed of that portion which is essential to life and its place supplied by another kind of air which is enervating to the man or woman. As the ascending sap of plants

cannot be perfected unless exposed to the chemical agency of air in the leaves so the blood of

animals requires the constant renewal  of its vital properties by the purifying influence of respiration. Many animals being able to subsist for a considerable time without food but all speedly [sic] perish when deprived of air hence it follows as a reasonable conclusion that the breathing  of impure air will in process of time generate desease [sic] and at all time is

detrimental to health.
