Keeping Hearth and Home in Old Texas A Practical Primer for Daily Living

A single bed is always to be preferred, both for married and unmarried people. Where two persons sleep in the same bed, the one who has the stronger physical power is likely to absorb the vital forces from the weaker one. Where either is afflicted with any tendency to consumption, has any skin disease, or other malady, he is likely to impart its evil influences, if not its actual contagion, to the person who shares his bed with him. If possible the sleeping-room should always be exposed to the sunlight. The apartment should be thoroughly ventilated during the day, and there should be an ample supply of fresh air throughout the entire night.Padgett, Carol is the author of 'Keeping Hearth and Home in Old Texas A Practical Primer for Daily Living', published 2001 under ISBN 9780897324090 and ISBN 0897324099.
