Is not this striking proof of the fact that the gas fire is the most hygienic form of heating?
It is hygienic because it venti- lates. The gas fire changes the air in a room imperceptibly, without draught or unwanted variation of temperature,
It is hygienic because it can be instantly and accurately re gulated to achieve any desired temperature.
It is hygienic because it creates no dirt dashes to befoul the room, and no smoke to pollute the atmosphere and so keep out the sunlight.
