Once week is often enough for q
decent white mar. to wash himself all
over and whether in Summer or
Winter, that ought to be done with
soap, warm water and a hogs hair
brush, in room showing at least
seventy degrees Fahrenheit. oi.i
Baths shouldibe taken early in the
morning, for it is then that hesystem
possesses the power Of reaction in the
highest degree. Any Kind Of bath
is dangerous soon after meal or
fatiguing exercise. No man or wo'
man should take bath at the close
of the day, unless by the advice of q
family physician. Many q man, in
attempting to cheat his doctor out
of a fee, has cheated himself out of
his life; aye, it is done every day.
The best, safest, cheapest and most
universally accessible mode Of keep
ing the surface Of the body clean, be-
sides the once week Washing with
soap, warm water, and hogs hair
brush is as follows:
AS soon as you get out Of bed in the
morning, wash your face, hands, neck
and breast then, in the same basin
of water, put your feet at once for
about minute, rubbing them brisk
ly all the time, then, with the towel,
which has been dampened by wiping
the face, feet, &C., wipe the whole
body well, fast and hard, mouth shut,
breast projecting. Let the whole
thing be done within five minutes.
At night when you go to bed, and
when ever you get out Of the bed du-
ring the night, or when you find
yourself wakeful or restless, spend
from two to five minutes in rubbing
your whole body with your hands,
as far as you can reach in every d.
rection. This has tendency to pre-
serve that softness and mobility of
skin which too frequent washings of
skin will always be destroyed.
That precautions are necessary, in
connection with the bath room, is
impressively signifed in the death of
an American lady of refinement and
position, lately, after taking bath
soon after dinner; Of Surgeon Hume,
while alone in a warm bath; and of
an eminent New Yorker, under SINH
lar circumstances, all within a year,
