Hnw to Get Sick.

r. II. NJ. writes: 81 slept in room
one night which had been washed during
the day, aud was not quite dry. / awoke
next morning with = sore throat, which
has continued ever since" The result is,
he has had to abandon his theological
studies, and place himself under treatment,
after having lost two years time.
II. NJ. writes 81 went to sleep IN
warm day on the top of an ice box, and
have never been we'll since" He shortly
after dieG Of consumption.
T. II. took a very severe cold; conver-
sation was laborious, but be had an ap'
pointment to preach, and felt as he must
fulfill it. He made the attempt, but the
utterauce wac attended with priekiug
pain in his throat, and then a dull hurting
came on in the throat, and subsequent
"hemming" and fruitless clearing" He
was permanently disabled.
A modest man walked until quite IA
tigued, and perspiring freely, entered an
omnibus, and sat next a lady who opened
a window to get some fresh air for herself.
He soon became chilled, and was i'll for
three weeks.
H. p GOT up at night, and hoisted the
window to look at burning house the
cold air darted in on the unprotected body,
Just from q ucrm bed. A twelve months
Hines, resulted in dropsy.
A strong, hearty man, came in on hot
summers day, Immediately took OF his
coat and bet, and sat in the open window,
looking oct upon beautiful garden, over
which the ocean breeses came to fan him.
Before he was aware Of it, be was chilled,

and died within . week.
A delicate young lady, an invalid, .
patient of ours, in sn excursion with sew
eral others, was "oversaken" BY nightfall,
and BY a young gentleman. They were
in boat, and the boat was in the mud,
the tide having gone out on visit to tae
sea, snd "there they we're" mile from
shore, and several miles from home that
mile was extraordinarily long and short.
Only think of it I! A whole mile o7er a
Jersey fat! covered with water, mud, and
bulrrshes, carrying in the arms young
lady Of eighteen, with one of the sweetes:
voices, faces and forms to be seen in or
out of Jersey. Besps,tered with mud,
dripping with foo and dew and slush:
streaming with perspiratioD, and wearled
with hunger, thirst aud fatigue, delighted
aud excited with the novelty Of the thing,
they reached home at midnight. The
next day she "didu't have anything the
matter With her at all" Why? She had
taken lessons of US. Instead Of pulling of
be. bonnet ard shawl, and sitting in a
cool place, or instead Of undressing at once,
aud thus letting the air check the perspi-
ration, she went Into q warm room, closed
the doors and windows Al the same mo-
meut, laid aside the garments one by one,
at intervals, and when cooled oil, in the
course of half an hour, retired to sound
sleep aud healtbful awakening.
Another man rode three miles with q
little child sleeping il bis lap, which,
pressing against bis stomach, caused un'
usual warmth there. Il was chill, raw.
November evening. 10 walking a hun
dred yards to the house, the child moving
slowly and wind blowing, the whole abdo
men was chilled 10 q moment. The nex'
morning be awoke with the omiuous pains
of pcritoneal inflammation, which is otter
fatal in three or four days.
A man had some accounts to draw of il
mid-w winter. 1t was cold night. He va
greatly interested; time went, and the fir
too. He felt little chilly, but though
be would soon be done that it was no
: worth while to rebuild the fire. 1t va
, near one o'clock before be left for home
! and he reached it most thoroughly chilled
} Next morning he bad pueumonis, Ant
never got we'll.
D Remaining at rest for hours in coll
room in raw, cold, damp weather,
, enough to kill three men out Of four, b.
bringing on congestion of the lungs, lun
fever, or inflammation of the lungs. Cler
, gymen and lawyers often sacrifice thei
lives by speaking iu warm rooms-th

up-and thus hungry, tired and depresse
