But The Air Of Nice Has Had A Still More Sensible Effect
Upon Mr. Sch - Z, Who Laboured Under Nervous Complaints To Such A
Degree, That Life Was A Burthen To Him.
He had also a fixed pain
in his breast, for which complaint he had formerly tried the air
of Naples, where he resided some considerable time, and in a
great measure recovered:
But, this returning with weakness,
faintness, low spirits, and entire loss of appetite, he was
advised to come hither; and the success of his journey has
greatly exceeded his expectation. Though the weather has been
remarkably bad for this climate, he has enjoyed perfect health.
Since he arrived at Nice, the pain in his breast has vanished; he
eats heartily, sleeps well, is in high spirits, and so strong,
that he is never off his legs in the day-time. He can walk to the
Var and back again, before dinner; and he has climbed to the tops
of all the mountains in this neighbourhood. I never saw before
such sudden and happy effects from the change of air. I must also
acknowledge, that ever since my arrival at Nice, I have breathed
more freely than I had done for some years, and my spirits have
been more alert. The father of my housekeeper, who was a dancing-master,
had been so afflicted with an asthmatic disorder, that he
could not live in France, Spain, or Italy; but found the air of
Nice so agreeable to his lungs, that he was enabled to exercise
his profession for above twenty years, and died last spring
turned of seventy.
