gree of pain or fickness, and a temporary fever hould enfue, there are two ways of fhaking it off, either to lie in bed and encourage perfpiration, or to get on horfe-back, and by brisk exercise reftore the body to its natural ftate. The choice of thefe two methods must always be determined by the peculiar circumftances of the parties concerned, and from the experience which they may before, have had, which agrees best with them.
1253. If a perfon commit excefs in eating, efpecially of high-feafoned things, with rich fauces, a draught of cold water, acidulated with vitriolic acid, will take off the fenfe of weight at the ftomach, and affift digeftion, by moderating the alimentary fermentation, and thus preventing the generation of too much flatus. The luxury of ices may be here of real service at the tables of the great, as producing fimilar effects with the cold water acidulated. Perfons in thefe circumftances ought not to lay themselves down to fleep, but should keep up and exercise until they are fenfible that the ftomach is unloaded, and that they no longer feel any oppreffive weight about the præcordia.
1254. If a man be obliged to faft, he ought, if poffible, during that time, to avoid laborious work: after fuffering fevere hunger, people ought not at once to gorge and fill themselves; nor is it proper, after being overfilled, to enjoin an absolute faft: neither is it fafe to reft totally immediately after exceffive labour, nor fuddenly fall hard to work after having been long without motion. In a word, all changes fhould be made by gentle degrees; for though the conftitution of the human body be fuch, that it can bear many alterations and irregularities without much danger, yet, when the tranfitions are extremely sudden, they cannot fail of producing some degree of disorder.
1255. CELSUS advises to vary the scenes of life, and not confine ourselves to any fettled rules; but as inaction renders the body weak and liftlefs, and

exercise gives vigour and ftrength, people should never long omit riding, walking, or going abroad in a carriage: fencing, playing at tennis, dancing, or other fimilar engagements, which afford both exercife and amufement, as each fhall be found most agreeable or convenient, are to be used in their turns, according to the circumftances, or tendency to any particular fpecies of difeafe. But when the weakness of old age fhall have rendered the body incapable of all these, then dry frictions with the flesh brush will be extremely requifite to preferve health, by accelerating the flow of humours through the fmalleft orders of veffels, and preventing the fluids from stagnating too long in the cellular interstices of the fleshy parts.
1256. SLEEP is the great reftorer of strength; for, during this time, the nutritious particles ap pear to be chiefly applied to repair the wafte, and replace those that have been abraded and wathed off by the labour and exercise of the day; but too much indulgence in fleep has many inconveniencies, both with refpect to body and mind, as it blunts the fenfes, and encourages the fluids to ftagnate in the cellular membrane; whence corpulency, and its neceffary confequences, languor and weakness. The proper time for fleep is the night, when darkness and filence naturally bring it on: therefore day fleep in general is not so refreshing; and to fome people is really distressful, as creating an unusual giddinefs and languor, especially in perfons addicted to literary pursuits. Cuftom, however, frequently renders fleep in the day neceffary; and in those conftitutions where it is found to give real refreshment, it ought to be in dulged.
1257. With regard to diet, it has always been held as a rule, that the fofter and milder kinds of aliment are moft proper for children; that grown perfons fhould eat what is more fubstantial; and old people leffen their quantity of solid food, and increase that of their drink.
