the action Of cold upon the body has
very little dependence upon expo--

pure aud weak condition Of all he
vital processes. In other words, with
al average of superior constitution,
and an intellig gent observance OF all
the laws Of health. men aud wnnea
could not take cold if they wantc;! to;
they might be exposed to the action
Of cold tn a degrees equal to the beast

tics again and again, clad. only in an
ordinary dress coat, and yet scarcely
know what it is to have cold or Il
sickness Of any kind. The truth is,
that to avoid taking cold from ord
nary or eeen extraordinary exposure,
the vital processes must be made
strong enough to rise above the IN
