ROMAN HOT BATHS.

They May Have Caused the Down.
fall of thc imperial city.
When Rene was in her glory and
men were strong and women beauti-
full, they set first Importance upon
the bath. There were 500 public baths
IN imperial Rome.
Before taking bath the Roman took
n little exercise. In the later history
of Rome the room in which he I'M
dressed was heated, and after undress-
ing he was anointed with oil. Then
came the scratching and rubbing of
the skin with the strigil. Following
this pcrspiration was promoted by
heated air or hot bath. The bath
was completed with cold douche or
cold plunge. Finally the body was
anointed again.
1t is believed by many writer's that
the Introduction CT the hot bath in
the place of tie c,ld bath among the
Romans was the principal cause of
their downfall. The luxury of the hot
bath was weakening and destroyed
that personal valor and hardihood for
which the Romans We're notorious IN
their cartier history.
Little by little the enervatinS intiu'
ence Of the hot bath gradually Slapped
away the vitality of the Roman soldier
until the more hardy men of the north
found them very easy foes to con
auer.-NIedical Talk.
