For the CHRONICLE.
Mr. Editor,
Thro’ the medium of your ufeful paper,
permit me so congratulate Citizen Hobby,
and all other genuine Republicans, upon the
return of the great Siate of Martachufetts to
those correct principles which five mod no
bly defended, and fought for; principles
which (he afierted at the paint of the bayo
net, and by Her magnanimous condufi,
induced her then filler colonies, to engage
in the fame Contort, which, happily termina
ted in the Independence of these dates---
This is an Epoch, (Americans,) that we
have good right to rejoice at. From some
cause or other, the mother of our country,
estranged heifclf from her natural and Je.
gitimate offspring, but, as nature has wifely
decreed, the diltradod parlies a;e now in
association, cultivating one field, and drin
king from the fame cup- —lt is worthy of
remark, that of the 17 States that compose
this Union, two are yet very refraftorw
fay good old Connecticut, where the people
are most fhamefully duped by an inftdious
clergy, that preach sordid dlfcourfcs instead
of true R.cligion ; the other, the state of
Delaware, where too much of the old Bri
tifli leaven still remains, to the annoyance
of the inhabitants of that state Happy
mud that country be, where oppofnion is
tolerated, at the expence of good Cenfe ; it
proves the freedom of the Profs, which is
the palladium of liberty—Let them go on
unpunished, till the rays of light (hail il
luminc their heated brains.
YANKEE.
FOR THE CHRONICLE.
IT is too much the custom among us, at
this time, as it has been in all former ages,
to form our opinions, fcom the opinions of
cotemporary authors, who have gained fotnc
celebrity by the ufeful and ingenious works
that they have pubiifhed. Instead ot depen
ding upon the evidence of cur own senses,
and thus drawing oar observations from
nature, wcrelinquifh tnem, and adopt with
out reason and without reflexion, the vague
©pinions ot men whose senses arenas liable to
deceive them, as ours arc to deceive us, and
whose veracity, is fornetimss excrcnwly
doubtful. I know of nothing in which this
blind Itupidity is more coiifptcoous, thin in
the practice which has became so prevalent
among us, of wearing flannel next to the
(kin, in fominer. This, to be fore, is re
commended in a 1 most all cases, oy many of
the most approved modern authors on medi
cine 5 but it docs not follow from this, that
it is always proper. Authors too frequently
cony from others, instead of cop} ing from
nature ; but I think there is some absurdity
in their reasoning on this fobjtft. It ,s
very well known to Physicians of geni
us and observation, that an exceffivc deter,
ruination of the fluids of the human body
towards the external fat face, is frequently
extremely debilitating. It is also well
known, that many people have too great a
determination of their fluids towards the ex
temal furface of the body, and are frequently
very much debilitated by it; and tt is like
wise well known that the praftice m wearing
flannel next to the (kin, has the ctfeft of
taking off the determination of the fluids
fiom the internal furfaccs, k throwing them
upon the external.
r Hence it follows as a nedeUary conic
(pence, that in all cases where debility and
1 diseases depending upon il, are occasioned by
* \
a fupcrabiuiftjnce of £ ;id matter, eliminated
from the body by the cutaneous cmunftorics,
the wealing of P.annel malt be exceedingly
pernicious, <u it will increase this morbid
determination of the fluids, which has alrea
dy been so great as to occalion diseases.
But in certain diseases, as the dyfentafy,
diatrhoa Sr:, which arc supported by a too
great determination of the fluids towards
the internal fucfaces, the wearing of flannel
next to the ikin, will draw <%IF this morbid
determination from the internal, and throw
it upon the external parts of the body, and
of confluence remove one very great taufc
of the continuance of diseases of this kind.
It appears to me that there is nothing more
• ridiculous, and injurious to health, than
the practice which prevails anlung many
healthy and rohuft perlbns, of keepinglthcm
felves bundled up in flannel in the heat of
fuminer. Mod persons, I believe in the
summer are debilitated, mwre or lefsf by
excdßve perspiration $ admitting this to be
correCl, how absurd muil it be to increase
this perspiration by wearing flannel. Flan
nel (hirts in the winter, when peifpiraiion
is apt to be defective, arc undoubtedly very
proper, for many who ate ofunexpofed to
th; inclemency of the weather; but to peo
ple whole confutations arc vigorous and
healthy, and who arc not much exposed to
the vit.iihuides of heat and cold, 1 believe
flmnel to be debilitating, and confcfjucmly
injurious to health,
L might fay a great deal more on the im
propriety of making use of flannel next t>
the Ik in, in all cases, and might give a
hiiiwry of a number of cases in which it has
nnnifelUy been injurious to health, and
when the leaving of it ofif, has been of infi
nite fcrvice; but my limits will not permit
. r»c to do this at prefetit.
