1.—Before leaving home, study your trains, pack trunks the day before, don’t forget anything, and avoid hurry and excitement.

2.—Look for rooms quietly, in a clean, quiet street or suburb, and see that the rooms are clean and airy.

3.—Rise early every morning, soap down and tub from head to heel, eat a biscuit, and go for a walk.

4.—Regular hours, regular exercise, regular meals, and regular medicine (if you need it).

6.—Enjoy yourself all you can, but ’ware excitement and fatigue.

6.—Strong men may bathe before breakfast, but the best average time is about three hours after breakfast.

7.—Walk at a moderate pace to the bathing ground, so as to be neither too hot nor too cold, and undress as speedily as possible.

8.—It is better to plunge at once into deep water; don’t unless you can swim, however, but after bending down and laving the face and both arms, drop right underneath the first wavelet.

9.—If you can swim, swim and nothing else; if you cannot, you can at least tumble about and keep moving, and also rub your limbs with the hands.

10.—Come out before you have actually ceased to enjoy yourself.
