the first two stocks named but the effect was
of no Importance. Gould properties were

ADVICE TO
a Few Suggestions Concerning When and
How to l;athc.

4 Few Suggestions Concerning When and
How to l;athr.
Bathers should enter the water
swiftly. not allowing the lower limbs to
become chilled. thus driving the blood
to the head. Most of our boys plunge
into the water head foremost: but this
is not necessary. To submerge the
body up to the neck is enough. After
this the body resumes an even tenn
perature. and when this course is fol-
lowed injurious results are rare.
The common belief that it is neces-
sary to wet the head upon entering the
water is based upon the assumption
that otherwise too much blood is i'm.
PEELED upward. This is not true if the
rest of the body is quickly immersed.
Ladies can not be expected to soak
their hair every time they battle. nor
is it necessary that they should do so.
A common error is that OF remaining
in the water too long. Blue lips. shiv-
ering limbs and subsequent headaches
should be sufficient warming. 4 nap
after bathing is advised by physicians.
Sea bathing induces drOwsiness. and
has the effect Of a sedative and nerve
tonic; hence a dip in the salt water
just before retiring for the night gem
orally insures sound sleep. When ths
water is colder4han usual postpone the
bath. Because some robust people can
battle in and out of season. and stay in
longer than others. should not induce
sensible people to initiate them. Fiji
teen minutes is quite long enough to
remain in the water under ordinary
circumstances. and for delicate persons
that short space of time may be
injurious. Too violent exercise in the
water should he avoided. The extreme
fatigue which follows is in itself SUM.
cientevidence that it il injurious.-Dr.
