Thefe Particles do not only check the Agitation of thofe continually diffus’d from the Inner Parts of an Animal to the Outer; but having an elaftick Power, they bend and hang aboutthe Filaments of the Body, pinch and {queeze them; andhence is that acute pungent Senfation call'd Cold, That ¢ is more than a mere Relation or Comparifon, is evident from its having r andpofitive Effe&s; fuch as Freezin g lation, Condenfation, Ravefaftion, Burfting, &c Dr. Clark takes Cold to be Owing to certain »Nitrous and other Saline Particles, endued with particular Figures pro to produce fuch Effe&s.
