DIGRESSION AND BAD WEATHER
Bad weather decreases the normal pressure of the atmosphere. The immediate result is that the Wood vessels become inflated: the circulation of our blood is hindered. Our uncomfortable feeling is increased by two other factors. When the air is dam)) we do not perspire normally, and therefore our bodies retain the waste and poisonous products that-otherwise would pass off. A feeling of heaviness and depression follows. Instead of the air containing the ordinary supply of oxygen, there is a smaller and a diluted supply. The position is the same as that of an engine from which normal work is required, but which is not being xfed. -with sufficient fuel to raise the required amount of steam. Oxygen is the body's fuel, and we cannot fully assimilate our food without a full supply.
