til the air passing through the saturated
filaments, make them cool and refresh
ing.
If you are warm, sit quiet. Most
persons, in their violent impotence TO
lower their temperatures, increase them
by taeir efforts.
1t is not advisable 10 check profuse
perspiration by the sudden use of. fam
ming, sitting in what is called draught
of air, or removing too much of our
dress. Also,
Be cautious in partaking of cold re-
freshments: the sudden alteration thus
produced, is in the highest degree dan
gerous.
Expose yourself no more than is nee
essary. Use no more exertion than is
absolutely required-early in the morn
ing and in the evening, there is time
enough for exercise. Avoid excess in
every thing.
These are homely but excellent dr.
rections. They insure not only COM
fort but health; they do not merely
compose the body to pleasant state,
but settle the mind to its usual and reg
ular operations. If such be their eff
fects, and 7ce knoU them to be such, they
are valuable.
