A Small Boy's Essay on Breathing.
From Medical Classics.
The following heretofore unheard of informa
tion iu regard to breath and breathing was made
public in Kentucky recently by a school-boy of
twelve years, who wrote an essay on the subject:
"AVe breathe with our lungs, our lights, our kid
neys, and our livers. If it wasn't for our breath
we would dio when we slept. Our breath keeps
the life a-going through the nose when we aro
asleep. Boys who stoy in a room all day should
not breathe. They should wait until they get
out Into the fresh air. Boys in a room make
bad air called cnrbonicldc. Carbonicide is as
poison as mad dogs. A lot of soldiers were
onco in a black hole in Colcuttaaud carbonicide
got in there nud killed them. Girls sometimes
ruin the breath with corsets that squeeze tho
diagram. A big diagram is best for the right
kind of breathing."
