    iS^ High and elevated fituations are found beft to agree with afthmatic perfons; efpecially fuc}^ places as are not pear tq marfhes^ or ftagnant waters, pr frequented by much rain or fog. A fine thin pure air expands the lungs, while thick moift air opprefifes them, apd adds to th^ heap, ■ But there are fpme perfons that bear, the air of towns, better than that which is more pure^ thefe however are not many. Thpfe fituations are beft, whiph face thq South, and South-weft, and are defended from the North, and Nprth-eaft winds. Some particular warm defended places pn the fea coaft; and in fome of the interior counties, T .agree with Afthma very well. The weft' fide of Hampftead, is alfo very falutary for afthrpatic perfons; indeed afthm^- tic ipatients do very well any where in this neighbourhood, except op the very fumrpit of the hill in very cold weather. Many other places may be as good, bpt my experience ^ does not enable me tp ppint^thern opt. Wirh • •• ♦
