In considering this fact OF electric light
bathing and all its ramiflcations one can
not help viewing with interest the strange
truths that make themselves apparent.
Bodies almost wholly Opaque or imperVl-

rays TO q remarkable degree When the
body Is exposed 70 the rays OF light from
q highly inCandescent source the penetra-

ton by the heat rays is tremendously
greater than by the rays of light. As
matter OF fact, the heat from the electric
light penetrates the body just as ii would
penetrate any other transp parent or semi
transparent medium.
In a Turkish. vapor or Russian bath heat
slowly works its way into the body by
heating the successive layers of living It's
sue, which although like glass transparent
to radiant enersy. also possess to Il great
er or less degree the nOn-conducting pow
ers OF glass and allied substances We
must not forget the fact that non-lBm{-
nous heat waves are thrown off by heated
bodies. And this is what is called radiant
energy. something which most people
read about and do not understand The
body Of the strong. the healthy man or
woman throws off this radiant energy.
The body Of the sick man needs nothing
80 much as this same radiant energy.
Therefore. TO repeat again, the essence
OF what the electric light bath gives 10 the
human being is. simmered down. nothing
more nor less than radiant energy. There
in lies the benefit. Contact of the heated
air with the skin OF the human being is
what constitutes the Turkish bath In the
vapor and Russian baths the combined in
huence of heat and air is experienced.
Now. air is ii very poor conductor and
therefore communicates heat 10 the body
slowly The SKIN alSo htnders the absorp-
tion of the heat being an excellent non
conductor. Heat absorption Is further de-
layed by the rapid evaporation of moist
IRE from the surface of the skin. Under
these circumstances the skin Of a person
Is cooled so quickly that he may enter and
remain for a considerable length Of time
exposed 20 a dry atmosphere AZ temper
allure far above the boiling point II IS
possible for a person TO take Turkish
bath at temperature OF more than 31o de-
grees without suffering Inconvenience.
The experiments which have been made
al Battle Creek are attracting the widest
attention among All Interested in medical
science. II IS an established fact that the
farther tire heat can be made 20 penetrate
into the tissues me more beneficial will be
the effect The reason for this is that Il
thereby Influences q large number OF the
more delicate nerve dhers making its ef-
