In saturated air at the bodily temperature there is little loss of heat by perspiration, or by evaporation from the bodily surface.

If there is no obvious perspiration we must not infer that the skin is inactive, since sweat is continually passing from the surface, though often it may not be apparent.

The visible sweat, or sensible perspiration, becomes abundant during active exercise, after copious drinking of cold water, on taking certain drugs, and when the body is exposed to excessive warmth.

A man's weight may be considerably reduced within a short time by loss through the perspiration alone.

During a fever the skin may be hot, and its vessels full of blood, and yet there may be no perspiration.

The surface is continually casting off perspiration, oily material, and dead scales.

Serious results have ensued from cold baths when the body is in a state of exhaustion or of profuse perspiration.

To wear garments that are daily being soiled by perspiration and other cutaneous excretions, is a most uncleanly and unhealthful practice.

Tea limits perspiration, perhaps, by the astringent action of the tannin which it contains,of which more hereafter.

What is saved by limiting perspiration?

He was at once alarmed, seeing the tavern keeper turn pale and gasp for breath, while large drops of cold perspiration broke out upon his face.

He recovered his strength but slowly, and what put him in despair was that whenever he attempted to work he was seized by a profuse perspiration.

It was at this juncture that the servant, whom they were waiting for in the garden, made her appearance, covered with perspiration, out of breath, and greatly excited, crying from a distance: "My God!

The heat was overpowering; Futteh Ali Shah was soft from too much good living; his thin patent-leather shoes began to draw his feet and gall his heels; his frock coat was tight; the perspiration poured down his face.

I had to turn out in that state of profuse perspiration which always succeeds the fever, and my wife hurriedly selected a few necessary things.

Germs which multiply in such persons are found in their urine and excretions from the bowels; in discharges from ulcers and abscesses; in the spit or particles coughed or sneezed into the air; in the perspiration or scales from the skin; and in the blood sucked up by biting insects.
