ROCKEFEILER'S BATHS OF
WHISKY ARE SCOFF'ED AT

London.-The cabled reports about
John D. Rockefeller's whisky bath
have caused a good deal of amuse-
ment and no little interest here but
physicians scott at the idea. Said one
medical expert well known for his
knowledge of the virtues and vices Of
alcohol:
alcohol applied to the skin can
have no more effect in supplying the
system with nutrition than would oil,
the value of which in its right place
Rockefeller knows better than l do.
Applied to a black eye alcohol, gent
ly administered, has a soothing effect.

as an absorbant and solvent under
certain conditions Is invaluable. Ia
ken internally, say when you are
physically numb, it Is a capital stm-
ulant. But from one end of Harley
street to the other you will not get a
physician to tell you that either in
ternally or externally it can add vital
ity to the tissues.
can old man needs nutritive food
in sparng quantities, but with all re-
spect to DR.. Biggar, he is only, II
seems to me, exciting his patient and
falsifying instead of increasing his
vitality. Besides when a body is
heated, as it must be under a mas
sage, alcohol freezes the pores. Mud
baths, vapor baths and other baths
open the natural gateway of the hu-
man system but this plan locks them
up. 1t Is ridiculous"
