1t is the best in the spring season to
take ones second bath at night, just
before going to bed. In that manner
one avoids the possibility of any sud
den chill, of which there is danger at
that very variable season. The bath
water. except when prescribed for par
ticular cases, should never be hot, but
thoroughly warm, and as a rule TWEEN
ty minutes at the most is all one should
remain in the tub. Try as much as
possible to keep still in your bath. If

shoulders may then be nodded.
The bump, for instance. which so
many women who would otherwise |
have pretty shoulders have at the base
of the neck in the back, cannot only be |
reduced by massage but made to dis
appear together. But you must not |
expect the growth of years to be car

the patient will not notice anv change. |
and that suddenly during the course |
of the fourth week the bump will fade |
away as if by magic under the mas !
seuses touch. This is due to the fact |
that the tissues were so hardened that |
they could not be properly gotten at |
until the flesh had been thoroughly |
impregnated with the emollient oils. |
In all cases. whatever part Of the BODY |
is being worked upon. I advise the usa
of emollient lotions with the massage. !
otherwise the skin becomes irritated |
from constant friction.
