Part IV. 



Influence of Hot-water and Vapour Baths on the Temperature of the Body. 



We next turn our attention to the influence of hot-water and vapour 

 baths on the temperature of the body ; and we shall first attempt to 

 ascertain the influence of hot baths on the temperature of the body, both 

 at the time of immersion and during the rest of the day. We have, as 

 usual, extracted and tabulated the chief data from the charts appended 

 to the end of this section. The temperature was obtained by placing 

 the thermometer under the tongue while the person was in the bath. 

 The method of taking the temperature is always noted in the charts.
