Dangers of tho Cold Bath.
Personally question the advisable
ity of the ice cold plunge as daily
practice The shock of this plunge
there is danger in some cases of un-
due strain upon the arteries and inter
nal organs.
The moderately cold plunge or show.
er fulfills all purposes of health. and 1t
is the part of wisdom to be moderate
in this as in all things
The ice cold bath is to be avoided by
those suffering from heart or kidney
trouble or rheumatism, but such sub
iects may still enjoy daily tepid
bath. especially If it is followed by
vigorous rubbing of the skin with a
coarse towel. Also these subjects may
harden themselves against colds by
lightly sponging the neck and chest
| with cool water.
The best time for the cold bath is
before breakfast. Following the bath.
| vigorous rubbing with coarse towel
and few exercises adapted to the
| strength and endurance of the individ
ual are advisable.
| A very valuable measure in cases
of nervous exhaustion and occasion
ally IN cases of insomnia is the drip
sheet bath. employed as follows:
The patient. stripped. should stand
in tub of warm water. sheet dip
ped in cool or tepid water. the temper
ature depending upon the ability of
the subject to react. is then wrapped
around him from head to foot Brisk
friction of body and limbs is applied
by an attendant. and the patient him
self may rub the front of his body.
Except on the advice Of physician
such bath should last but few mo
ments. and then the bather should be
put to bed
Bathing In Fevers.
When typhoid fever. pneumonia OF
other serious illness exists the Ques
ton of cold bathing must be left te
the attending physician. In mild
feverish condition much comfort vii
be afforded the patient by cool spong
ing. Even sponging with tepid water
will reduce the temperature and allay
nervous excitement. The sponge should
not be ''sopping" wet. but only We

on the skin.
The nightly hot foot bath is Il valu

After taking a hot foot bath tn

compose himself to rest before the ef
