The middle-aged man must be careful
not to take baths which are too cold.
Some young men possibly can jump
right out of bed into a cold tub. or
under an icy shower, and muster up
enough vitality to get a good reaction
after the shock. though / believe that
in time it will tell even on them. But
for a middle-aged man to do the same
thing is positively dangerous. Take a
good scrubbing three times a week
preferably under shower. The shower
bath is as much an advance over the
bath tub as the bath tub is an i'm
provement over the old hand basin.
l recommend the shower bath because
II does not take so much vitality out
of one as does the tub bath, owing to
the fact that one is not in the water
so long. A daily plunge, or shower. is
also to be advised for the general
toning-up effect il has on the system.
In taking this tonic bath use warm
water first in order to open the pores
and draw the blood to the surface
then taper off the temperature till the
water is running fairly cold. Under nc
circumstances except when instructed
by a physician should a middle-agod
man jump from a hot bath to an ice
cold one. Such an experience is too
much of a nervous shock for any bu.
the strongest constitutions. 1t lowers
the vitality. irritates the nervous sys
TEN, and nnally, fails even to produce
d reaction.
Whether using the shower for a
cleansing or a tonic bath, the whole
operation should net take more than
five minutes. In every case follow il
with q brisk rub, using a coarse towel
until the body Is all aglow. Great care
should be used to dry the scalp. Don's
venture out-of-doors for at least fif-
teen minutes afterwards nor eat an
thing for half an hour.
The first warning is given SO that
YOU won't catch cold, the second to
