Uccello was asked to paint a number of scenes of distempered animals for the house of the Medici. The scene most appreciated by Vasari was his depiction of a fierce lion fighting with a venom-spouting snake. Uccello loved to paint animals and he kept a wide variety of pictures of animals, especially birds, at home. This love for birds is what led to his nickname, Paolo Uccelli (Paul of the birds).

Inside, the original walls and dome were distempered but this was later removed, revealing the decorations to be carved in stone. Only the decorative work of the dome is plaster. Originally, the basement was an open arched arcade with a vaulted stone ceiling, with Radcliffe's coat of arms in the centre. The arcade arches were fitted with iron grilles: three of them were gates which were closed at night, and which gave access to the library by a grand staircase.

It was reported in 1775 by Sir Percival Pott in climbing boys or chimney sweepers. It is the first industrially related cancer to be found. Potts described it: > It is a disease which always makes it first attack on the inferior part of > the scrotum where it produces a superficial, painful ragged ill-looking sore > with hard rising edges…in no great length of time it pervades the skin, > dartos and the membranes of the scrotum, and seizes the testicle, which it > inlarges [sic], hardens and renders truly and thoroughly distempered. Whence > it makes its way up the spermatic process into the abdomen.

The vicar gave the open seats of oak in the nave. Another extensive restoration of the Church took place in 1923 and 1924 when the Chancel was distempered, the roof repaired and the pillars and arches of the nave cleaned of plaster to show off the stone-work. The gallery at the west end was removed and a sub-arch under the chancel arch was taken down. Fairly recently, a number of projects have taken place: conversion of the north porch into a toilet and kitchen; provision of a sound, audio and loop system; and, in celebration of the Queen's Golden Jubilee, external floodlighting.

At the time of the rebellion in 1745, Osborne went to a farmer by the name of Butterfield, who kept a dairy at Gubblecut, near Tring, in Hertfordshire, and begged for some buttermilk. Butterfield, by a brutal refusal, angered the old woman, who went away muttering that the Pretender would pay him out. In the course of the next year or so a number of the farmer's calves became distempered, and he himself contracted epileptic fits. In the meantime he gave up dairy-farming and took a public-house, The wiseacres who met there attributed his misfortunes to witchcraft, and advised Butterfield to apply to a cunning woman or white witch for a cure.

He also started cutting down timber of one of the reversionary estates. The ensuing dispute with Sir Thomas Hanmer had an effect on Hervey's ‘distressed mind in a distempered body’ and drove Hervey mad to the extent that he was admitted to an asylum. Hervey was returned as MP for Bury St Edmunds at the 1741 and continued to vote with the government except in an important vote on the chairman of the elections committee in December 1741, when he erratically voted with the Opposition. His only explanation was ‘Jesus knows my thoughts, one day I blaspheme and pray the next’ which prompted Horace Walpole to say ‘Tom Hervey is quite mad’.

Anecdotal accounts of prohibitions against maternal alcohol use from Biblical, ancient Greek, and ancient Roman sources imply a historical awareness of links between maternal alcohol use and negative child outcomes. For example, in the Bible, Judges 13:4 (addressed to a woman who was going to have a baby) reads: "Therefore be careful and drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean" (ESV). In 1725 British physicians petitioned the House of Commons on the effects of strong drink when consumed by pregnant women saying that such drinking is “… too often the cause of weak, feeble, and distempered children, who must be, instead of an advantage and strength, a charge to their country.”. Biography of author Randle Jackson There are many other such historical references.

This cancer was a manifestation of scrotal squamous cell carcinoma which had first been noted in 1775 by Sir Percival Pott in climbing boys or chimney sweepers. It was the first industrially related cancer to be identified and was originally called soot wart, then chimney sweeps cancer. He describes it: > It is a disease which always makes it first attack on the inferior part of > the scrotum where it produces a superficial, painful ragged ill-looking sore > with hard rising edges ... in no great length of time it pervades the skin, > dartos and the membranes of the scrotum, and seizes the testicle, which it > inlarges, hardens and renders truly and thoroughly distempered.

In accepting the nomination, Etheridge blasted the Brownlow administration as an "ignorant, brutal and irresponsible despotism," and stated the goal of the Conservative campaign was to end the "meanest tyranny which was ever hatched in the foul air of distempered times."Emerson Etheridge, "Tennessee Politics: Acceptance of Hon. Emerson Etheridge," Daily Ohio Statesman, 2 May 1867, p. 1. Brownlow's newspaper, the Knoxville Whig, derided Etheridge as a "blasé party scullion, the Thersites of the stump, the trafficker of the most foul, vulgar and filthy slang ever spewed by an obscene mind upon the hustings" whose "violent passions always carried him to offensive extremes.""Nomination of Etheridge: A Broken Down Party Hack in the Field," Knoxville Whig, 24 April 1867, p. 2.

Pott's early investigations contributed to the science of epidemiology and the Chimney Sweepers Act 1788. Pott describes chimney sweeps' carcinoma thus: > It is a disease which always makes it first attack on the inferior part of > the scrotum where it produces a superficial, painful ragged ill-looking sore > with hard rising edges.....in no great length of time it pervades the skin, > dartos and the membranes of the scrotum, and seizes the testicle, which it > inlarges, hardens and renders truly and thoroughly distempered. Whence it > makes its way up the spermatic process into the abdomen. He comments on the life of the boys: > The fate of these people seems peculiarly hard ... they are treated with > great brutality ... they are thrust up narrow and sometimes hot chimnies, > where they are bruised burned and almost suffocated; and when they get to > puberty they become ... liable to a most noisome, painful and fatal disease.
