bathing. For the benefit of the sex. we
annex the following programme
% Immediately on rising from bed,
and having all previously ready, take off
your night dress, then take up from your
earthen pan of two gallons of water a
towel, quite wet, but not dropping; begin
ut your head, rubbing hair and face and
neck and ears well then wrap yourself
behind and before, from neck to chest.
your arms, and every portion of your
body. Remand your towel into the pan,
charge it afresh with water, and repeat
once all | have mentioned, except the
head, unless that be IN heated state,
when you may do so, and with advantage.
Three minutes will now have elapsed
Throw your towel into the pan, and then
proceed with two coarse long towels, to
scrub you head, face and body, front and
rear, when four minutes will have you in
q glow then wash and hard rub your
feet, brush your hair and complete your
toilette: and trust me that this will
give new zest to your existence. A
mile of walking may be added with ad-
vantage"
