Note 55 — PART I. OF THE GENERAL CAUSES OF DISEASES. (continued 3)
Reading edition
If a person suspects that his bed is damp, the simple precaution of taking off the sheets and lying in the blankets, with all, or most of his clothes on, will prevent all the danger. I have practised this for many years, and never have been hurt by damp beds, though no constitution, without care, is proof against their baneful influence.
