These are all that were reckoned by the ancients; but, to the same class of agencies belong undoubtedly, 7) exposure to vicissitudes or alternations of drouth and moisture; and 8) exposure to the effluvia or exhalations from known and palpable dead and decomposing matter, or, in other words, fermenting and putrefying vegetable and animal substances, as for example, cabbages, onions, &c. or carcasses and offals of markets and slaughter-houses, fish used as a manure, &c., the ordinary excretions from living animals in a state of vitiation from accumulation, confinement, increased temperature, and decomposition; as for example, the halitus from the lungs, the perspired fluid, the urine, and the intestinal discharges; also from more simple chimical actions, which extricate copiously, and in very nearly, if not quite a pure state, carbonic acid gas, nitrous acid gas, sulphohydrous acid gas, chlorine gas, &c.
