The Japanese are fond Of bathing in
extremely hot water. They are. in
fact, the most Clearly. according to
our western notion, Of any of the east
ern peoples Their bath is taken as
frequently as twice n day, often at a
temperature of about 10 degrees E..

An odd description has been given OF
the amphibious lives, half in water
and half out, like frogs, led by the WIS.,
itors at n health resort where there
are warm mineral springs in the heart
of the Japanese mountains. Patients
at this sanitarium often remain In the
water for a month at time. At night
they put n stone on their laps to keep
them from floating downstream. And
If It should be objected that this is an
unhealthy method of conducting a
health resort reference has only to be
made to the caretaker Of the estab-
lishment, hearty old man over eighty
years Of age, who frequently remains
In the bath all winter. directing the

could see advertised and hear of, with
out helping me to any great extent,
until finally In October last at Ripan,
Wis, purchased a one dollar bottle
OF Swamp Root and commenced taking
it according to directions and follow
ed that with another bottle ard ex-
perienced such great relief and bene-
fits from sdme that / purchased five
dollars worth at Huntsville, Ala, and
continued its use and am now taking 1t,
