"At a little distance from the village [Rampside], there is a deep natural bason called the Conckhole, which, in the absence of the tide, is always filled with a dense saline fluid, and is much extolled for its peculiar advantages." "The infirm and delicate should inure themselves to the sea-air, by walking an hour every day, for eight or ten days upon the beach, previous to immersion in the cold bath; for the cool refreshing gales from off the western ocean, or those that are wafted across the extensive bay from the south or south east, when not too piercing, are often attended with the happiest effects." Page 383:- "This procedure is always advisable, for if the air be too sharp, it is to be feared that the cold bath will also be prejudicial." "..." |
