British writers lay some emphasis on the desirability of always wearing woolen clothing in order to protect from chill, and much has been said as to the value of the woolen belly-band or abdominal binder. The writer's personal experience, and observations as to the general American experience, in the tropics do not indicate that this is a rule of general application. As stated before, most tropical diseases are infectious in nature, and if proper precautions be taken to avoid the infections, it... is not thought that the discomfort produced by too great warmth of body, excessive perspiration, and prickly HYGIENE OF HOT AND COLD CLIMATES 125 heat is apt to offer additional protection. In the field, where the chill of night air is more keenly felt and where wetting may occur from rain or from fording streams, the flannel shirt should be worn, and it and.
