That perlons iu ftfted should be kept in large, airy rooms, in Ix'ds without curtains —and pay the ftri&eft attention to clearihnefs —to keep the streets and wharves Clean as poilible-*-to avoid all fatigue of body or mind—to avoid lifting or standing in the fun, also in a current of air— or the evening air—To accommodate the d(efe to the weather—and to exceed rather in warm, than'in cool cloathing—To avoid intemperance, but to use fermented liquors, such as wine, beer or cyder, with moderation.
