1408.
"When
he
is
seized
with
the
cramp
in
the
leg,
the
method
of
driving
it
away
is
to
give
the
parts
affected
a
sudden,
vigorous,
and
violent
shock;
which
he
may
do
in
the
air
as
he
swims
on
his
back.
1409.
"During
the
great
heats
in
summer,
there
is
no
danger
in
bathing,
however
warm
we
may
be,
in
rivers
which
have
been
thoroughly
warmed
by
the
sun.
But
to
throw
one's
self
into
cold
spring
water,
when
the
body
has
been
heated
by
exercise
in
the
sun,
is
an
imprudence
which
may
prove
fatal.
I
once
knew
an
instance
of
four
young
men
who,
having
worked
at
harvest
in
the
heat
of
the
day,
with
a
view
of
refreshing
themselves,
plunged
into
a
spring
of
cold
water;
two
died
upon
the
spot,
a
third
next
morning,
and
the
fourth
recovered
with
great
difficulty.
A
copious
draught
of
cold
water,
in
similar
circumstances,
is
frequently
attended
with
the
same
effect
in
North
America.
1410.
"The
exercise
of
swimming
is
of
the
most
healthy
and
agreeable
in
the
world.
After
having
swum
for
an
hour
or
two
in
the
evening
one
sleeps
coolly
the
whole
night,
even
during
the
most
ardent
heat
of
summer.
Perhaps,
the
pores
being
cleansed,
the
insensible
perspiration
increases,
and
occasions
this
coolness.
It
is
certain
that
much
swimming
is
the
means
of
stopping
diarrhoea,
and
even
of
producing
a
constipation.
With
respect
to
those
who
do
not
know
how
to
swim,
or
who
are
affected
with
diarrhoea
at
a
season
which
does
not
permit
them
to
use
that
exercise,
a
warm
bath,
by
cleansing
and
purifying
the
skin,
is
found
very
salutary,
and
often
effects
a
radical
cure.
I
speak
from
my
own
experience,
frequently
repeated,
and
that
of
others,
to
whom
I
have
recommended
this.
