Damp
Situations,
Remedy
for.
People
who
live
in
damp
localities,
particularly
near
undrained
land,
are
apt
to
think
that
there
is
no
help
for
them
save
in
removal.
They
are
mistaken.
Successful
experiments
have
shown
that
it
is
possible
to
materially
improve
the
atmosphere
in
such
neighbourhoods
by
the
planting
of
the
laurel
and
the
sunflower.
The
laurel
gives
off
an
abundance
of
ozone,
whilst
the
sunflower
is
potent
in
destroying
the
malarial
condition.
These
two,
if
planted
on
the
most
restricted
scale
in
a
garden
or
any
ground
close
to
the
house,
will
be
found
to
speedily
increase
the
dryness
and
salubrity
of
the
atmosphere.

Plant
Skeletons.
The
leaves
should
be
put
into
an
earthen
or
glass
vessel,
and
a
large
quantity
of
rain
water
poured
over
them;
after
this
they
must
be
left
in
the
open
air,
and
to
the
heat
of
the
sun,
without
covering
the
vessel.
As
the
water
evaporates
and
the
leaves
become
dry,
more
water
must
be
added;
the
leaves
will
by
this
means
putrefy,
but
the
time
required
for
this
varies;
some
plants
will
be
finished
in
a
month,
others
will
require
two
months
or
longer,
according
to
the
toughness
of
their
parenchyma.
When
they
have
been
in
a
state
of
putrefaction
for
some
time,
the
two
membranes
will
begin
to
separate,
and
the
green
part
of
the
leaf
to
become
fluid;
then
the
operation
of
clearing
is
to
be
performed.
The
leaf
is
to
be
put
upon
a
flat
white
earthen
plate,
and
covered
with
clear
water;
and
being
gently
squeezed
with
the
finger,
the
membranes
will
begin
to
open,
and
the
green
substance
will
come
out
at
the
edges;
the
membranes
must
be
carefully
taken
off
with
the
finger,
and
great
caution
must
be
used
in
separating
them
near
the
middle
rib.
When
once
there
is
an
opening
towards
this
separation,
the
whole
membrane
always
follows
easily;
when
both
membranes
are
taken
off,
the
skeleton
is
finished,
and
it
has
to
be
washed
clean
with
water,
and
then
dried
between
the
leaves
of
a
book.
