Great Damage from Damp Linen.

DAMP linen is sufficient to account for frequent colds, consumption, and premature death of a whole family; and where the mischief, having not taken that direction, is developed in the form of a rheumatism, which when once set in from that cause, is generally incurable. All body linen, shortly before putting on, should be made dry by a good fire. Those who have experienced no signal evidence of the mischief of damp linen are apt to be careless on the subject; but the carelessness will inevitably entail its punishment, which is likely to accumulate insidiously until it is too late.—Hall's Journal of Health.
