From Dr, Buchan*i Uomellic Mpdicincs. IT is a true fayiog, that colds kiH more than plagues. On examinmg patient;, we find moft of them impute their dtfeafes either to violent colds they have caught, or to ii^ht ones which have been neglected. For this realbn, knilead oK a critical enquiry into the nature of perfpi ra- tion, ics difference in different feafons, climates, conftiru- tions, &c. we (hall endeavour to point out the caofes which moft commonly oblhud it, and tO (hew how far they may I be either avoided, or have their influence coantcraibled by timely care. The want of a proper attention ^to thefe colU Britain annually (ome thoufands of ufeful lives. One of the moft common caufes of •bftruAed perfptra tion, or catching cold, in this country, is ihe changeable- nefs of the weather, or ftate of the atmofphere. There is no place where fuch changes happen more frequently than t in Great Britain. With us the degrees of heat and cold i^ are not only very different in differei^t feafons of the year but often change almoft from one extreme to another in a few days, and fomecimes even in the courfe of one day. That fuch changes mule afi'edl the ftate of the pcrfpiration is obvious to t^Cfy one. The beft method r.f forrifyinor the body againft the changes of the weathtr is to be abroad every day. Thoft? who keep moft withindoors aie moft li^ihlc to catch cold. Such perlons generally render themfeives To delicate as to feel even the ilighteft changes in the atmofphere, i^tkd. by rV^eir pains, coughs, and opprefRons of the breaft, &;c. ( the^' become a kind of living barometf rs. Wet clorkes not only, by their coldnefs, obftruA the perfi>irati/»n,b«t their moifture,bv being abftrbed, or taken up into the body, greatly incteafes the darg»'r. The moll ro:)uh conititution is net proof againft the danger ariling from wet cloathes $►. ihey daily occafion fevers, rheoma- tif'fiis and other iatM diibrders, even in the young and hc«ilihy. It is inipoffiWe for penpfe who go frf)quent4y abroad to avoid fomerimes bein? wet. .-But the danger fB'gbt gencr- □ O ally be leflTened, II not wholly prevented, by changing ^ their doaths foon ; when this cannot be done, ihey (hould keep in motion till they be dry. So far are many people from takine this precaution, that they often At or lie aovvo in the fields with their clothes wet, acd frequent- ly even flecp whole nights in this condition . The fre qucnt inftances which we have of the fatal effects of this condttdl ooght certainly to deter others from being guilty of it. Ei^en wet feet often occafion fatal difeafes. The cholic inflammations of the breaft, the iliacc paifion, and cholera morbus, £(c« are often occaConed by wet feet. Habit wi]|» no doobt, render this lefs dangerous ; but it ooghr, M far as pofiible, Co be avoided. The delicate, and thofe [ who are not accuftomed to have theit clothes or feet wet, (hould be peculiarly careful in this refpeft. The perCpiration is often obftruAed by night air ; even In fummer, this ooght to be avoided. The dews, which fall plentifully after the hotted day, make the night more dangerous than wh^n the weather is cool. Hence, in ( warm countries, the evening dews are more hvriful than where the clitnate is more temperate. It is very agreeable* aftejr a warm day, to be abroad in the cool evening ; but this is a pleafure to be avoided by all who value their healih. The effefts of evening dews ate gradualindeed, and al moll imperceptible; but they are not th*i lefs to be dreaded : We would therefore ad> vife travellers, labourers, and all who are much heated by day, carefully to avoid them. When the perfpiration has been g^eat, thefe become dangerous in proportion. By not atiendi-Rg to this, in flat marfhy countries, where the exhalatioQs and dews are copious, labourers are often feized with intermittng fevers, quinfies, and the like. Sleeping in damp beds feldom faiU to obftreft the per- fpiration. Beds become damp, either from their not being ufed, ftandins; in damp houfes, or in rooms without fire. Nothing is more. to be dreaded by travellers than damp beds, which are very common in ail places where fuel is fcarce. When a traveller, cold and wet arrives at an inn, he may by means of a good fire, warm diluting liquor, 43' ^W" •—- D ■%• .1 and a dry bed, have the perfpirado'n reftored ; bat if h^^ ; be put ioco a cold Yoom, and laid on a damp bed, it will be |; more obltruCted, and the worlt confequences willenfue. i Travellers Hioald avoid inns which are noted for dimp beds, as ihey would a houfe infeAed with the plagoe'; at no roan, however robuft, is proof agaiaft the danger arlfmg from them. f^u( inns are not the only ptacM where dam^ btdsa^ to be met with. Beds kept in private families for the recep- tion of ftrangers are often equally daiigerous. All kinds of linnen and bedding, when not frequently ufed, become damp. How then is poflible that bedo, which zte not flepi in above two or three times a year, Ibo^M be other* wife ? Nothing is more common than to hear people com- plain of having caught cold by changing their bed. The reafon is obvious ; Were they carefo' neVer to deep in a bed but what was frequently ufed, they wt^ufld fetdom find any ill cnnfequences Irom a change. Nothing is more to be dreaded by a- delicaVr perfoD, when on a viiit, than being^laid ill a bed which is kept on purpofe for Grangers. That ilhjudd^ed piece' of com- plaitance becomes a real injury. AH the bad confequen- ces from this quarter might be eafily j^Viented in private (amiKes, by caufing their fervants to fleep iif fpare bed% and refign them to flrangers when they come. This ir the cuflom of many families in London, aiid we would earnell- ly recommend it to all who value the health'oi their fril^nds; In inns, where the beds are ufed atnioft every night', no- thing elfe is neceflary than to keep tfacf^ rdoitis well feafoned 'by frequent fires, and the linen dry. Damp hpufes frequently produce the'like ill cdrifequeii-. .'ces ; fur this reafon thoie who build! ihould be careful to ^chufea dry firuation. A houfe which (lands on a damp ^^arihy foil mull be hurtful to the health of the inhabitants; All houfes, unlefs where the* ground in exceedinjg dry,' (hould have the firft floor a little raifed. Savants' akid pothers, who are obliged to live in cellisrs andTu'nk (lorils, feldom continue long in health : Btit Mhflers bogfht ftirely jto pay fome regard to the health of their fe^vfldts, as well ias to their own. !

Honfes are often rendered damp by an nofa^'onatile piece of cleanlinefs ; I mean the pernicious cultom of wathing rooms immediately before company U pat into thctn. Many people are fare to catch cold if they fit b it a very 'ihort time in a room that has been laiely waflied ? the de- licate ought carefully to avoid fuch a Situation, and even the roboS would run lefs hazard by litting without doors . People who i^re accttftomed to live in dry houfes ought, as far as poflible, lo ihon damp ones, and by all means not to continae long in rooms that have been lacciy wafhed. But nothing fo frequently ob4lru^b the perfpiration as fudden tranfitions from heat to cold. Colds ate feldom *cought, onlefs when people have bte« too much he-^trd. Hear rarifies the blood, quickens the circulaiioA, and in- creafes the perfpiration ; but, when thefe aie fuddfnly checked, the confequences mufl be bad. It is indcrd im- poflible for labourers not to be too hi^t upon fome occa 'itons; bat it is generally in their pover to put on their clothes when they leave off work, to make choice of a dr> place toxeil them>{elves in, and lo avoid fleep.ng in the open (elds. .Thefe eafy rules, il obferved, would fave many ufeful lives. Nothing is more common than for pervple, when hot to .drink freely on cold fmall liquors. This conduct is'ex- tremely dangerous. Third indeed is hard to bear, and the inclination; to gratify, that appetite ftequently gets the 'better of Teafon, and makes OS do what our judgment dif- appipvcs.
