Her conversation was always prefaced
with the Introductory inquiry, so COM

foryour health?" She once addresseda a
stalwart, ruddy-faced young man ut the
dinner-table of the Metropolitan a,few
days since, and the following dialogue
ensued:

the weakest person you ever saw. I
had no use Of my limbs; in fact my
bones were but little tougher than car
tilages. / had no intelligent use Of q
single muscle, nor the use Of a single
faculty."

"How sad! Pray, what was your

"My diet was the simplest possible
consisting only of milk, that being fhe
only food my system could bear. As
for treatment, I depended entirely upon
the life-giving properties Of the air OF
Minnesota, and took no medicine ex-
cept an occasional narcotic when very
restless. My improvement dated from
my arrival. My limbs soon became

THE SEA BATH. The invigorating and
remedial effects of sen bathing, when
not indulged in to excess, are every
where recognized. But it Is frequently
the case the case that those who are in
most need of. and most likely to be.
benefited by the salt bath, are too fee
BILE TO take it in the sea, and millions
there are who cannot afford the neces-
sary travel to obtain it. Many so Sit
uated sometimes have recourse to Q salt
water bath, thinking to derive similar
benefits. But as sea water contains
several other chemical salts in addition
to chloride Of sodium the desired bsne-s
fits from an ocean bath are not realized.
To meet this want, however, q pure seA
salt is now prepared by the evaporation
OF sea water, containing all the 6aline
matters Of the ocean, from { solution
OF which something very near akin 10
an ocean bath may be obtained in ones
own bath room, wherever located.
