. . . The dumb bell is another exercise of the latter compendious kind. By the use of it I have in Forty swings quickened my pulse from sixty to one hundred beats in a minute, counted by a second watch, and I suppose the warmth generally increases with quickness of pulse. . . .
A long letter to Dr. Dubourg, with whom he frequently corresponded, is devoted entirely to swimming, an exercise Franklin was very fond of and in which he was expert.
To Barbeu Dubourg.
. . . During the great heats o...f 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 the next morning, and the fourth recovered with great difficulty.
