A writer 10 the London Medical
Times argues that the general opIn'
ion that frequent GOLD and warm baths
and washing the skin with cold water,
accompanied by friction, are conducive
to health aud ran do no harm, is n
conclusion that cannot he admitted
for, Oh the ono hand. millions OF men
take no baths OF any kind, or at most
slightly wash their face and hands
once a week, aud yet live TO good old
age in the enjaymont OF good health
while, on the other hand, no one is
able to prove that tho use of the vari'
GUS forms of baths wards of disease,
or that washing in cold water furnish
Us any protective power against Oh
tarrh, rheumatism, etc, the diseases
which are supposed to particularly
arise from catching cold. A compar
lson, too, says this writer, of the ire'
quency of disease in towns where
baths are frequently resorted to, and
IN the country, wher" they rarely can
be got, says but little Tor their prophy
laotic power; and, although il canno'
be said flat their frequent employ
ment in towns is q cause Of the great
er mortality therein, neither can it be
said that washing "all over with cold
