trely shut in save the head, which is under the
shower. On the one is the battery; in the rear
the furnace and boiler divided by PARTITION SO
that one-half the vapor may be medicated and
onc-half may be water vapor, which is introduc
ed by means OF tubes. The cabinet is insulated
by means of rubber. OF the efficacy Of electrio

eases there can be no doubt, and as applied by
means of this bath its effect is wonderful. II
