The an* tients even fuppofed, that thefe animals, as they always ran with their nofes to the ground, were the firft that felt any in- fection. In fhort, it fhould feem that the predominance of any one vapour, from any bddy, how wholefome foever in itfelf^ becomes infectious ; and that we owe the falubrity of the air to the variety of its mixture. But there is no animal whofe frame is more fenfibly affected by the changes of the air than man. It is true, he can endure a greater variety of climat...es than the lower orders ge- nerally are able to do ; but it is rather by the means which he has difcovered of obviating their effects, than by the apparent ilrength of his conftitution. Moft other animals can bear coid or hunger better, endure greater fatigues in proportion, and are fatisfkd with a fhorter repofe. The variations of the cli- mate, therefore, would probably affect them lefs, if they had the fame means or (kill in providing againft the feverities of the change. However this be, the body of man is an inilrument much more nicely fenfible of the variations of the air, than any of thofe which his own art has produced ; for his frame alone feems to unite all their properties being invigorated by * Boyle's Phyfic.
