SULPHUR BATHS, NEW STYLE.
In England Now They EIectropIate
the Human Body.
From The London Express

From The London Express
Harroxate, the famous Yorkshire water
ing place, has hit upon decided novelty.
It's sulphur wells have long enjoyed re-
nown. Most people know them by re-
pute; smaller circles by imperative and
not wholly joyous experience. They arc
not exactly nice, these waters, though
decidedly beneficial.
But II seems to be one OF natures COM
pensating laws that what Is good i"r you
must be nasty. The taste of Harrogate
waters suggests a brew In which the
leading ingredients are a liberal supply
Of rusty nat-irons and a lavish store OF
eggs on which extreme age has told heav-
lily.
II il I'm the external. not the internal,
use Of sulphur water, however that Har-
rogates latest triumph has been attain
ed. Described briefly, by the application
OF electricity In sulphur bath man Is
converted into a sulphur-coated being
In other words, the electricity, acting
upon the sulphur latent In the watNr, de-
posts Il upon the epidermls OF the pa
tient msuch as electrolysis covers metallic
goods with plating Of gold or silver.
This process claims Dr. Smith, the
local practitioner, whose experiments
have led up TO it's discovery, IS much
better than the ordinary sulphur bath 80
beneficial in certain skin affections The
benefit Is both greater and more rapid
for he finds that the deposit OF sulphur
actually placed upon the skin by electric
influence Is much more effective and cura.
