Hints That May Save You Much
Sickness During the
Winter.
WAY OF PREVENTING TYPHOID

DIR. Assay, of the A,ay sanItarIum, Explains
the Advantages OF a Systematic Treat
ment at That InstItution-Late Improve
ments and Some Suggestions as to Care
of Health.
In the epidemic of typhoid fever do
ali you can for YOUR cleanliness and
health, avoid impure drinking water
with which to poison yourself. and
take measures to get ont of the sys-
tenn the poison it already contains.
Study the effects OF sanitarium
course of treatment. For instance,
the Turkish bath. which aids one to
keep well. 1t frees the system from
all waste and impurities. 1t keeps
mind and body up to the highest Wig
or. 1t rests the tired, quiets the
nervous, and brings sleep to the sleep
less. 1t removes from the skin
all that clogs and discolors it, and
clears the complexion. 1t takes out
of the skin more uncle anliness than a
common bath can wash of from it..
and Il is luxury that quickly be-
comes habit. 1t brings tiny streams
of impurities from our :, 900, 900 pores
of the skin at once. You can keep
the surface of the body fairly clean by
the tub or sponge bath at your home,
but compare it with the Turkish, Rus
sian, mercurial, sulphur and potash
baths, and you will find that the baths
you take at nome are only like wash
ing one half of the body instead OF the
whole body itself.
II YOU are in the habit of taking n
bath daily, for instance, plain tub
bath or sponge bath, you will say
that Turkish baths can add nothing
to your cleanliness, comfort and
health, but you are mistaken.
Surface washing alone cannot suf-
flee. To secure health. the skin itself
must be purified and cleansed. This
the Turkish bath can do. and the
truth of this the hasitual surface
washers can test for themselves. Let
them take Turkish bath and they
will be surprised at the amount of
dirt which the gentle friction of the
hand on the softened epiderm will
take off, the removal of which pro-
notes cutaneous respiration, with all
its advantages. In the study of ply
siO!ogy we have learned hat animals
coated over with any substance which
air cannot penetrate die in few
days. If, therefore. total closure of
the pores Of the skin causes death, is
it not true that partial closure il pro-
pOrtiOnatcly dangerous to health?
Evils Corrected.
There are many evils sure to arise |
from exhaustive mental labor which |
can he corrected by the Turkish bath,
for which out of door exercise would |
be otherwise indispensable to pre-
serve physical and mental health.
Don't wait to get sick. but keep the
system in n healthy condition. How
many thousands of people could have
avoided long spell OF sickness by
doing the right thing ut the right
time. A severe cold often results in
serious trouble, and could have been
cured by a Turkish bath. l wish to
