I am reading about 1890s medicine in the tropics. Interesting.

They blame things like the air and the earth for the diseases that they deal with in those areas. They also say that the sea air and breezes are cures for these types of things.

My guess is the sea breezes and so-called 'good airs' have little in itself to do with helping recover from tropical diseases.

My guess is the sea breezes and good airs have a lot to do with a person being able to get some decent sleep and rest and let the body do its job and shake the jungle fevers.
