Bathing.

One Of the great benefits of bathing is
is tendency to equalize the circulation.
especially to attract the blood to the sur
face. and increase its action in the skin.
This actio in the skin is one of the first
symptoms Of improvement desired in
diseases Of the heart and lungs where too
much blood tn Jwn upon the il ternal or
oans causes conges ion and engagement.
Another good r ult, the circulation being
more equal, more blood is carried to the
extremities. especially the feet, causing
the person to suffer less with cold feet.
Again. systematic bathing in warm 6r
cold water. particularly cold, is a great
preventative 10 taking cold. and no one Is
better aware of this than medical men Of
