Its odor is infectious and sulphurous; it is thick and heavy, and when its beat increases it almost causes suffocation It occasions a pretty copious perspiration, part ly excited by the uneasiness which one feels, and the difficulty with which one breathes on account of its foetid quality. This perspiration appears to me more dense and simians than the natural perspiration; the wind itself deposits - an unctu ous fluid Th. better to szamine its qualities and iie nature, I opened my month to labels it; the palate and throat were instantly parched.— It produces the isme effect whew inhaled through the nostrils, but more slowly.
