The crown prince of Servia, who
has just passed his majority, is doing
everything possible to render the cri-

cold bath not more than a minute long.
One should take it in warm room.

quick closing of the blood vessels when
the cold water is applied, and the
prompt dilation of the vessels of the
skin as the flesh is dried
