IMPORT ANCE OF BATHING TO chi
pREN-Thc following 4, an extraction an Y
ceucn; csSiy Oh ihc Physical Elucalon II Chr
rcn,"--ty DT. Richari Burke OF England:
There is but one subject more 20
which can nov refer this IS cleanliness
ofthe entire body, a II affects the health
OF children. the neglect OF which in the
early years of childhood, is productive
Of the greatest mischief. Much oi this
may be ascribed 20 the low order ofin,el-
lect which generally predominates in
those who have the care OF children.
Could we but raise this class in the scale
of moral aud intellectual beings, We
should add largely TO the comforts aud the
health OF children. Such scheme
fear imprac,icablc. We cannot hope 20
reform our present system on a scale suili.
cienily extensive TO be practically appli-
cable tolargc communities, so long as uur.
ses are chosen from that order of human
beings, whose reasoning faculties where
children are concerned, arc limited TO eat
inc sleeping and physioing.
Now these, IN their way, are all well
enough. bu, in reality constitute small
portion Of the several items which should
occupy the whole soul Of those who un.
dertake so responsible a trust as tia, OF
bringing up child. In ea-ly life there
Is gTea, determination Of blood TO the
cu,icular surface OF child. This increas.
ed supply Of blood will necessarily re-
qnire increased facility for the exit Of
transprable matter. In infancy, the skin
~ the great outlet which nature seeks
Should any obstruction occur TO cuticular
transportation, the matter which should
pass oil by that channel is either thrown
back on the circulating fluids. OF becomes
condensed in the form OF scabs on the
skin of the child.
A good deal Of this perhaps NAV be
avoided by a regular use o: hot or cold
bath. For children who are healthy, the
cold water should he used during the
warmer weather, with n warm bath once
week, IN which the children should be
well washed with soap and 4 brush
When taken out they should be rubbed
quite dry with coarse napkin, and the
BODY rubbed over with fine salt, this latter
may be very advan,agoously employ ed
for the effect OF salt on the system OF man
q, as some suppose, rcyrueraiing power.
Whcu organic diseases cxistin children.
1t Is hardly necessary 10 state that cold
bathing under any form is unsafe, with
some few exceptions, when the nervous
system Is chiefly engaged. A proper at.
teni'on 10 hot and cold bathing would no,
only save children from many of the dis.
tressing Diseases of iafancy, bu, impari
tone and vlgor totheir general -ystem.
