Overheated Rooms

"As a general principle our rooms are too warm in winter. The heat of the summer, which seems oppressive to us, we endure without a murmur in the winter, in stifled sitting-rooms where the dry and impure air is indeed oppressive. In this way we rob ourselves of the tonic effects of the cool and cold weather, as necessary and useful to us as the mild weather of the summer. Those thus exposed have more colds, more sickness, than those steadily exposed to the rigors of northern winters."
