Il8 GOOD HEALTH 



thoroughly dislike having them near that they can't 

 help showing their objection sometimes. Of course 

 this hurts the feelings of the unwashed; still, if they 

 are bright enough, they will see what the matter is, 

 adopt the habit of bathing regularly, and join the army 

 of the clean. 



For the sake of cleanliness we should change our 

 underclothing in the morning and at night, and shake it 

 to get rid of bits of epidermis and waste matter from the 

 sweat glands which cling to it. A hard dry rub with a 

 coarse towel is helpful. 



By adding to this a warm bath once a week any one 

 can keep the skin in good condition. A quick, cold bath 

 every morning before breakfast is good for most healthy 

 people. It does as much as anything else to keep one 

 healthy. Some use a bath tub, others use a washbowl; 

 either is suitable. Here are a few rules. 



1. Take your cold bath in a warm room. 



2. Wet the skin quickly. 



3. Wipe hard and dry with a rough towel 

 until the skin is pink. 



4. If you use a washbowl, wash and wipe 

 part of the body at a time. This will keep 

 you from taking cold. 



5. You should feel warm after your bath ; 

 if you feel cold instead, you are not vigorous 

 enough to take daily cold baths.
