when you have business relations with persons who have small, “pinched-up” noses and features–they are liable to be guilty of many little, insignificant things.

simply because thousands of others believe it–on many important subjects the majority of persons always have been wrong.

Nearly every person believed in slavery a few years ago–nearly every person believed the earth flat a few centuries since–nearly every person, a few years ago, believed all diseases to be the result of special providences, and even a few believe it yet–thus you see any thing can be believed.

–it makes you tender, weakens you, and is the source of much harm in many ways.  Laboring men make a great mistake in wearing it during the hot weather.  The skin of the body should be as tough as possible, not tender and soft.
