known to have curative value.

Scientists estimate that the lava mud
thrown out in the famous eruption Of
Skaptar Jokull in 1883 was equal in bulk

Enough to give at least one mud bath to
many millions of the earth's population
At flrst thought the idea of plunging ones

looking mud seems q most repulsive thins
to do, but those who have undergone the
experience report that after the first shock
of strangeness is over Il produces only the
most pleasurable sensations Almost every.

eager for more In fact. bathing In mud
seems TO be ono OF the few forms OF treat
ment that make the task OF trying TO re.
gain health and strength real pleasure.
Many OF the worlds most famous mud
baths make use OF what is known AZ moor

vegetation that is saturated with the water
from mineral springs. This is dug out OF

The right kind Of mud when properly pre-

as soluble as sugar. Every vestige Of It is
easily and quickly removed from the skin
by the warm douche which precedes the

ally gave off disappears.
The method of preparing this dirt for
use at the famous mud baths in Bohemia
is to grind it to a fine powder and mix 1t
with charged mineral water until it reaches
the desired consistency
The manner Of giving mud bath varies
considerably In different countries. At
Swedish spa, where salt sea water is added
to the mud. the patients body is first
douched with warm water.
Then the body is covered with warm
mud, which an attendant rubs and brushes
into the skin. second coating Of niue
is applied and the friction continued with
special attention to any affected parts OF
the body.
Another douche Of much warmer water
removes what Is left Of the mud, and this
is followed by mineral water bath In
which the patient Ia rubbed with seaweed.
A nnal douche brings the bath to an end.
One OF the great advantages OF the mud
bath Ia that II takes far less heat from the
body than other baths do. In other baths
there is constant giving.off Of warmth
on account OF the equalization Of tempers
lures which takes place between the body
and the water even when the bather is
motionless.
The mud bath cxerts q soothing influ-
efce on the nervous system once the per

Another woman who frequently takes the
mud baths describes them as "like some

and leaves you feeling as II you had cast

wv Of warm, moist earth and presses

making use of a remedy which is almost
as old as mankind.
The belief in the curative properties Of
mud has persisted from the most ancient
wAich have been banded down to us from
tlpse early days that receive considerable
endorsement from modern medical science.
For thousands OF years mud has been
used, both internally and externally, as
cure for all sorts Of Ills, ranging from the
dread leprosy to, a simple toothache.
Among various savage tribes of the present
day copious doses Of mud are relied upon
to drive out evil spirits and the aches and
pains which they are believed to cause.
But 1t is as an external remedy that
civilized man has chiefly used mud. Cicero
and many other Of the ancient Romans
bathed in mud frequently to keep them.
selves fit, and scattered throughout Amer
ica< and Europe to-day are numerous mud
baths to which sufferers from various dis
eases go to take this form Of treatment.
The handful of ordinary moist earth
which the small boy presses on his cut or
bee sting probably has no more curative
effect than moist sawdust -four or any
other similar substance would. 1t is when
the mud is strongly impregnated with
chemical and mineral substances as hap
pens when 1t is found in the vicinity Of
mineral springs or when It has been
vomited from volcanoes. that II attains a
medicinal value.
Bathing in mud OF this description is be-
lieyed by many physicians to be way Of
curing or checking the progress of rheum-
atsm kidney troubles and other diseases;
and many marvellous results are reported
from taking mud baths ut frequent inter.
walls over period of several weeks or
months.
The beneficial effect OF mud baths is
thought to be due to the way they open up
the pores, inducing copious ffow OF per-
spiration, and thus enabling the body to
throw Off impurities and the poisons Of
disease without putting heavy strain on
the kidneys and other organs. It is a we'll.
known fact that even q single immersion
in certain kinds OF mud leaves the skin
smoother, softer and in an apparently
healthier condition than any other bath
win
There Is probably no foundation for the
popular belief that when one takes a mud
bath the chemical and mineral properties
of the mud are absorbed into the body
through the pores OF the skin. The skins
power OF absorption is so slight that II
could hardly take in enough OF these prop
critics to do any good unless the mud con-
tains high percentage OF fatty matter and

An eighteenth century writer, IN describ-

the south Of France, speaks OF them as
