The Ordinary Home Baths—Seaside Bathing.
The morning tub is a bath that people in ordinary health should take every morning. It is not only invigorating but it so tones the skin and nerves as to render catching cold all but impossible. A far better tonic for those who can bear it, is the shower bath.
A cheaper sort of Shower Bath is that represented underneath. (Plate Nine.)
From a recent Magazine Article of ours, we cull the following hints which may be found of use. In speaking of House Baths we say:—
1.—Then you must consult your own feelings as to whether or not you ought to continue the bath through the livelong winter. We should say, “Try to do so.”
2.—Let the first spongeful of cold water be applied to the head and shoulders and adown the spine.
