I his remarkable Change of the Temperature of 
the Air mutt undoubtedly have fome coniidcrable 
Effect on human Bodies: A very coid Wind buffer- 
ing only, the thinner Fart of the Blood to pals of 
by Perfpiration : Nor, in fuch Seafons,doth the Body 
imbibe fo much of a diluting Humidity from the Air 
(as Keil ob erves). Hence the Necefnty of drinking 
plentifully of thin diluting Liquors, which, as it is 
always proper in this Didemper, fo, when it happens 
in fuch a Seafon, is highly neceilary. And .1 am 
of Opinion, Monf. Andrf s Method of bathing in 
warm Water and Milk, or warm Milk, before the 
Eruption, may, upon many Accounts, be proper in 
fuch a Confl.itution of the Air. There can be no Ob- 
jection againd it, but its not being in Falhion. 
i took particular Notice, that while, and jud after 
the Eafterly Winds blew exceflively drong for feven 
or eight Days together in the Months of Oflober and 
November, the Patients, 1 then faw in the Small-Pox , 
fcarce falivated at all. Then particularly, *an adult 
Perfon, who had the confluent Pox very feverely, did 
not fpit the lead through the whole Courfe of the Di- 
feafe ; She was feized with a violent Pleurify the 1 8 th 
Day, but was reliev’d by Bleeding. The Blood was 
the mofb vifcid that ever I faw. ’Tis remark’d by 
Lancifii that People expectorate very little in Difor- 
ders of the Bread, when cold, dry, Eafterly Winds 
blow ^ and ’tis what 1 have frequently obferved: And 
this may be one Reafon, why fome AJlhmaticks gene- 
rally fuffer a Paroxyfm at fuch Seafons. 
The Swelling of the Hands did not fo regularly 
fucceed the ‘Detumefcence of the Face, during this Con- 
ditution, as I have obferv’d in other Epidemic Small- 
Pox.
