Salt Water BATHING,

DR.. Copeman of Brighton. England.
writing in the Practitioner. London.
gives some advice on sea bathing.
''The best time to bathe is about two
hours after breakfast. the period or
greatest vital activity" says DR.. Cope
man. The one time which must be
avoided by all is after full meal.
During the process of digestion the
vessels of the internal organs are al
ready engorged with blood. and the
shock of the cold water is apt to pro-
duce very dangerous condition OF
congestion. the least Of many penalties
that may accrue being an acute attack
of indigestion. With many keen bath
ers it is an article of faith to bathe
before breakfast. But business men,
after months of unremitting toll. those
who are below par or who are getting
on in years. should avoid taxing their
system by bathing at such a time.
Even the most robust would be wise
to partake of cup of hot milk before
leaving the house,
