stayed in at least three-quarters of
minute the first day and came out
mumbling something but | could not
quite catch what it was.
Upon coming out of the stearl
room, we are laid on metal tables
and covered from toes to hair roots
with sulphur mud which has been
heated by some steaming process
and talk about hot.-Did you eve.
fall into pot of boiling tar? Well;
this is about the same except yol
can't get out. But, it does not
blister and it, is packed IN about
four inches thick. After the first
few days, we could stand the mud as
hot as they could get it and laugh 1T
'em, but it sure made us a little
shaky at first.
After about 20 minutes OF cooking
in this, some of the mud is taken off
and we get off the table and stand up
for our rinsing and shower. Then
we get our tub soaking in water that
does not quite blister. Wilcox de-
clared that it blistered his feet but
found upon closer examination he had
forgotten to remove his soX.
When we have soaked for 10 OF
Is minutes, we get out Of the tubs
and are wrapped in wooden blankets
and taken into cooler room (about
90) to lay on a sort of lounge affair
and perspire some more. If Edison
was right when he said "Great things
are accomplished not by inspiration
but by perspiration," we will soor
do great things.
The next move is from this room
! to a still cooler one 1907 where more
i tables await US and we are covered
with cold cream, oil or alcohol and
massaged, stretched and spanked
| after which we move on to the rest
ing room and please believe me when
say, we need no second invitation
to rest.
BY the time we have done little
resting and we are dressed, it is din
ner time and we are surely ready
for it. After dinner, is nap time and
for miles around, the shingles rattle
| for an hour or so.
Each night there is dancing IL
which everybody who can shake :
| leg takes part.
