in the financial descent. Ever since the
termination of the Confederate war, gold has
been merchandise and greenbacks have
been getting nearer and nearer to it in

became harder to get in other words, the
times were getting harder or preparing to
do so. Failures became common, and
finally, indeed, epidemic. Enterprise was
benumbed, manufactures closed their

USES AND ABUSES OF THE BATH.

The following is an extract from DR.. Reamy's
lecture on the uses and Abuses Of the Bath" de-
livered before the Faculty and students Of the
Ohio Medical College:
Important as 1t is to keep these millions Of su.
datory ducts open it is very questionable whether
lavish use of soap and scrubbing brushes has
tendency to doso. In fact the contrary may be
presumed, for the application of soap to the out
side cuticle, scrubbed well into the pores with
rough brush, must rather block the capilaries
lhan open them. The application of very warm
water surcharges tn skin with blood, while that
of very cold water drives back the blood and con-
tracts the capillaries.
There are other reasons however, why soap
and scrubbing- brushes are not only unnecessary
to health but even inimical to 1t. The outer cuti-
Gle or scartskin of the body is composed OF the
same material as the nails, although the fiber Is
somewhat differently arranged, 1t is in fact, the
enamel of the skin, and its proper preservation
gives to the skin of a beautiful woman the ivory
faish SO much admired. 1t is the protection OF
the skin beneath. But like the substance of the
nails, 1t NUT be painlessly scraped or rubbed OH
easily, If one keeps scrubbing long enough. Un-
der the microscope, it is scay, like the skin of
fish and these scales may be easily scIaped away
Nearly all soap contains strong alkalies, which
soften the epitbelium or scarfskin and renders 1t
easily removed by rough scrubbing. strong
flesh brush rough towel and hot water, are all
wonderfully eficacious in removing this protect.
ing membrane, but are wholly unnecessary to
health and cleanliness. The only really healthy
and proper water bath costs little or nothing and
can be taken at home Some say they have no
time to take bath, but this only requires eight
minutes before breakfast, which every one not
inordinately lazy can take, Go to timer and
get him to make you tin tray about two inches
deep and eighteen inches square. This will cost
about sixty cents Then buy sponge, which
will cost you about quarter. With the tin pan
the SPONGE and gallon Of water, you have all
the requirements for an excellent bath, and every
person should take such bath daily 1t is only
necessary to sponge yourself thoroughly from
head to foot and wipe dry with soft towel. The
exercise of doing this ones self no one else
should do it's excellent, The water should be
about the same temperature as the atmosphere II
you are healthy and strong, but If the weather is
intensely cold, tepid water may be substituted.
But the bath should not be taken with the win
dow open or in current of air, and the water
should be the same temperature as the atmos'
phere in the room"
