Dr. white’s Obfervations on the 
the fame to be the cafe at Manchefter. At Chefter Dr. hay- 
garth fays November was the moft fickly month. The dif- 
ferences in the regifters make it impoflible to give the difeafes 
of which the individuals died ; yet a general idea of this may 
be obtained from the fame table. By the care and attention 
of the prefent archbifhop of this province, this may be eafily 
perfected in future periods. 
It appears from hence, that our difeafes are chiefly of the 
inflammatory kind, which phyflcians know to be the general 
attendants of the winter and fpring months. The diforders of 
the fummer and autumn are more particularly fuch as arife 
from putrefcency and acrimony, iuch as flow and remitting 
fevers, dyfenteries, cholera’s, and the like, thofe then being, 
with us the healthieft feafons fhew that we are not fubjeCt to 
putrid difeafes. Dr. wintringham has given us an account 
of the weather and the correfponding difeafes at York for fix- 
teen years fucceflively, in his Commentarium Nofologicum, to 
which learned work I refer the curious reader for further fatis- 
faCtion upon this fubjeCt. 
Among the general caufes of our increafing population and 
healthinefs we may enumerate the introduction of inoculation, 
which has been the means of faving a number of lives ; im- 
provements in the treatment and cure of feveral diforders, the 
cool regimen in fevers, the admiflion of frefh air, the general 
ufe of antifeptic medicines and diet, have doubtlefs had a falu- 
fary and extenfive influence upon the health of mankind, and 
have much obviated the malignity of fome of our moft dan- 
gerous difeafes. To thefe may be added a general improve- 
ment and greater attention to nature in the management of 
infants.
