BATHING CHILDREN IN Cold WArER.-What
lover of babies has not pitied the poor little
things, when he has seen them thrust into tubs
OF water many degrees colder than their juvcn-
lie blood, and brought out, blue, crying and
chilled, to have their bodily heat restored by
chaiing with coarse cloths? 1t seems to us as
asking too much of the tender system to COM
pei it to recuperate its energies by he simple
reaction of the chill, and that none but the We
~ strongest constitutions can stand so cor.
slant and so terrible drain on the vital forces
But many Of our physicians have approved this
course of treatment, and especially those who
adopt the hydiopathc theories, now so COM
mon. We are glld, however, to notice that
even some of those do not give their approval
to this torture Of The poor children. for writer
In late number Of the Water Cure Journal
Dr The current month, comes out very decided
~ In reprobaton oft, and strongly urges upon
mothers and nurses the adoption of some less
painful and dangerous course of conduct in the
ablutionary process. He also disapprovcs the
prevailing practice of rubbing, even to abra-
sion of the skin, with coarse towels. horse
brushes, sand-paper, bricks, or whatever else
the extravagant advocates of "good healthy
SKINS recommend. His reasoning on these
points is perfect, that the skin, though it should
be kept clean, does not require rasping or ho-
ly-stoning, in order to keep it healthy. Pro-
per bathing is no doubt salutary, but the Sc
we're processes alluded to are as useless as they
are unnatural.-.NtdicalJ Journal.

notes that referred TO the point in question, after
which they withdrew q second time. The Court soon
sfter adjourned until 81 O'Clock.
AT that time the court house crowded with thu
