you have a good head cold. If you
are not careful, pneumonia is the next
step, and it works very fast.
All of which points quite clearly to
the fact that this Is an excellent time
Of year to take little trip to Florida,
or increase the daily dose Of vitamlns,
and take more exercise in the fresh
air and sunshine. But we are going
to suggest something else again
something to be added to the vitamin
pills and the outdoor walks, something
that will take the stored up toxic
poisons right out Of the body and
leave you feeling like a different per-
son. For it Is usually this accumula-
ton Of waste, in the system that lies
at the root of all the little aches, pains
and susceptibility to colds that pre-
vail, especially during this season of
the year.
And just what is the secret2
It is q sulphur vapor bath that
brings you all the benefits of q So
journ at spa right in your
own city, and easy to take. This
cabinet bath is little different from
the usual type, as the patient reclines
perfectly relaxed in the cabinet with
the top closed down and the head ex-
tended through little doorway which
you can see in the photograph The
temperature Of the vapor that fills the
cabinet Is gradually increased, de-
pending on the individual and the
purpose for which the treatment is
given.
IF THE treatment is to scare away
cold that is trying its best to
close up the passages Of your nose,
menthol is added to the sulphur vapor
to clear the head. If you are vary
tired and want the treatment to revive
you mentally and physically after a
hard day, pine spirits may be added
with its soothing qualities.
The vapor heat opens all the pores
Of the body until the perspiration
streams down in little rivers, taking
with it lot Of waste that the body
easily since last summer. These baths
are so regulated that they do not have
any weakening after-effects. While
still in the cabinet and the body has
had time to cool of, warm shampoo
Is given to thoroughly cleanse the
body. After this comes the best part
OF ala marvellous oil massage and
rundown, that sends the blood tingling
through the body and speeds you on
your way, feeling like a new person.
AS you may have surmised, the
baths may also be used as reducing
treatment. We have been informed
that as much as 80 pounds have been
removed in the course of number of
months. For such treatments a much
more vigorous massage is given and
the diet restricted. The approaching
Lenten season affords an excellent
opportunity for setting aside definite
period for slimming down bit before
Easter and the social engagements
that follow it.
The sulphur vapor bath is said to
be especially beneficial in cases of
rheumatism and neuritis, as we'll as
tonic treatment for general sluggish
ness.
nF SPECIAL interest in the shops
this week is the news about a
well-liked cleansing cream. It comes
in large ha1f-pound jars and usually
sells for $3.50. but is having remark
able let-down in price for short
period. The cream has been widely

well-liked. 1t is deeply penetrative
and easily removes every vestige Of
dirt. which. Of course. is the first essen
tial of healthy, youthful looking skin.
