To all whom these may come.

The CELEBRATED, though SLIGHTED Doctor PRUDENCE,
Sendeth greeting, and wisheth health.

Fevers, and fever-and-ague are more or less herein remitting, intermitting, nervous.
Autumn has commenced - a season
prevalent: they frequently are produced
by inattention.

Prudence, therefore advises, that those
who are in the practice of sleeping with
their windows open, to discontinue the
practice to which is highly injurious. Many
people are in the habit of sitting several
hours after sun set without any thing to
shield them from the Dew, which at this
season, is unusually heavy, especially after
two or three days rain; this is highly im-
proper.

Change of cloaths, when the weather
changes, is necessary. It is better so to do
than be confined
with sickness. Those citizens who have
country seats, and are necessarily obliged
to ride early and late, ought not to disre-
gard this advice.

The sun is very powerful--his rays are
far more sensibly felt than in July, owing to
the sudden transitions from cold to heat.
Frequent changes in the atmosphere debili-
tate and dispose the system to disease. Fe-
vers are the prevailing complaints of Au-
tumn. To guard against them, avoid as
much as possible standing or walking in
the sun without an umbrella. Such as are
in the habit of bathing should by no means
expose themselves to the sun. I have seen
boys of twelve and fifteen years of age at
noon day, alternately in and out of the
water for an hour or two together; parents
should prevent their children from doing
thus.
