SUDDEN DEATHS

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTH ERN TIMES.
Sir,—During the present week you have recorded, in
your journal, two most lamentable instances of sudden
death, whilst in the act of taking a bath. There is not
the slightest doubt that apoplexy, caused by a sudden
reaction upon the system, has been the immediate cause of
such an awfully sudden end.
Now, it is not generally known to those who are in
the habit of indulging in the luxury of a warm
bath, that, in order to prepare the temperature
of the body to the change it is about to undergo,
that a simple preparatory process is, in many instances,
necessarily required. Using friction with a coarse towel,
or otherwise, will often have the desired effect. I speak
advisedly on this matter, having, to an alarming extent,
been myself subject to a tendency of blood to the head,
which more or less is dangerous, if not guarded against,
and which too often terminates in apoplexy. These few
remarks are intended pro Bono publico.—Yours, &e.,
