 : A Healthy Home, and How to Keep It

"Florence Spong recounted in August 1909: 'As to breaking my [prison] cell window, I told them I only followed the advice given in the book, placed in my cell, entitled 'A Healthy Home, and How to Keep It.' In this book it stated that windows must be open both top and bottom, otherwise one laid oneself open to many dreadful diseases, including consumption'."
