TURKISH BATH FoR aoksEs.
How Horses Are treated TO Hot
BATHS for Their HEALTH


Popular Science Nsws.l
The Turkish bath has recently come into
rather extensive use for curing the ailments
of horses; and a few private stables, Us well
as several belonging TO corporations, arr now
fitted with complete horss-baths. A recent
number Of III Builder gives the plan OF
such an establishment just added to the
stables Of the Great Northern Railway
company, which shows q compact
group OF three rooms; one, serving
both as n reception-room and as a
place for the final donchs. Icing about fifteen
feet wide and twenty-four feet long; Will
tho two hot-rooms. opening out Of the recep-
tion-room, are zach somewhat less than
twelve feet wide by the same length as the
other. Hot air Is supplied to the two smaller
rooms from a 1stokeryr outside, and venti-
lating shafts remove it as fast as yitiated.
Both these rooms are separated from the TO
ception-room by double doors, to prevent loss
OF heat; and an opening, over which a cur
tain Is hung. connects the two.
The first warm room, a @tepiderium," is
kept at a temperature OF about 40 degrees
Fahrenheit: while the second room, a Cali
darium," Is kept at 100 or ITO degrees. The
reception-room Is warmed only by the heat
which escapes from the other two. The
horses, upon Treatment, are first rubbed down
In the rsception-room, and then led into the
~tepidarium, T" where they stay until they are
accustomed to the heat, and are then, If their
case seems to need it. taken into the "cali-
darium," where they stay until sufficient
perspiration has taken place. From this
room they return directly into the reception.
room, where they are bathed according to
the Judgment Of the attendant In charge.
As horses are naturally thin-skinned, and
liable to the disorders which proceed from
a checked Precipitation, it may be readily
imagined that the Turkish bath, by its pow
full action in opening the pores Of the skin,
might be Of great use. In treating them; and
it is said that a firm Of carriers in London
has had such a bath in operation for more
than eleven years. treating during hat time
about twenty horses a week.
