manifeft, atmospherical fire will be collected by fuch exercise, and that its quantity will proportionate to the velocity of the body fo moved. If this was not the cafe, thofe when thus violently impelled through the cold atmofphere would be almoft chill'd to death; whereas, on the contrary, they find themfelves warmer than before. How different is fleep, after exercise, from that produced by the effects of liquor, or a full ftomach? The first is tranquil and refreshing, the last disturbed with dreams, fuffocation, or night-mare; and heat fuddenly obtained from a large fire, does not occafion that pleasurable, and permanent internal glow, as when gradually acquired by bodily motion. In short, Activity is the parent of Fortitude and Health; but Indolence begets Timidity and Diseases. To conclude, we have now feen how Intemperance and Irregularity of the Paffions may wear out the animal fyftem and anticipate its its decay. In fuch as fupinely fubmit to their power, the Sun will go down at noon; whilft the votary to Temperance may probably arrive at old age, without diseases, or pain; Tho' he was born to die, the bond of union between the foul and body will ra ther be gently unloofed than forcibly torn afunder. When his radical moisture is exhaufted, as in a lamp deprived of oil, the vital flame will languifh, and at last must needs be extinguished ! The state of the Body and Mind have been represented as they really are, not as we might wish to find them. We have endeavoured to fhew their mutual influence, and how they co-operate with each other; what condition fits them for health, or tends to introduce difeafes; how they are alter'd by the effects of age; fubject to the internal controul of inordinate paffions; outwardly expofed to the power of a malignant atmosphere; and infenfibly perverted by the prevalence of pernicious habits. If fuch are their various affections, and if our manner of living, changes the manner of thinking, and influences our moral conduct; thrice happy they who have been accustomed to early Temperance, and the due regulation of their Paffions, as powerful motives to Virtue, and the fureft means of preferving health, prolonging life, and tasting its pleasures with the dignity and refine» . ment of rational beings, THE END. SUPPLEMENT Neceffary Inftructions for thofe who confult a Phyfician by Letter. TISSOT, at the conclufion of his advice to the people, remarks that the fuccefs of medicines greatly depends upon a very exact, previous knowledge of the disease for which they were administered, he therefore has fet down feveral queftions to be anfwered by thofe patients who may find it ne ceffary to confult a physician by letter. Confidering the vague, and imperfect manner in which fome people endeavour to make known their complaints; their te dious recital of many uninterefting circumftances, and omiffion of others neceffary to be known; fuch inftructions appear to have been highly requifite. I have therefore, af◄ ter his example, here fubjoined fuch particular queftions as are proper to be anfvered by 豢 by female patients in ftating their cafes, which will render them more clear and intelligible. From inattention to the following queries, and the addition of feveral particulars foreign to such cases; many of the Letters with which I have been honored, were drawn out to an immoderate and unneceffary length. What is the patient's age, habit of body, and manner of living? How long has the been ill; from what apparent caufe was her disorder brought on, and what was the manner of its first attack? Is the periodical difcharge regular; is fhe pregnant; or has fhe ever had Children? Are the patient's complaints attended with pain, thirft or fever and is her ftrength much exhausted? Are they conftantly the fame, or if other wife, at what particular times do they grow worfe? Has |
