coo water should be at hand to temper 
tlie bath at a proper heat. A few minutes 
application is sufficient. A towel should 
'eat hand to wipe quickly dry, beginning 
at the shoulders ; the feet arid leys may 
be wiped after the shirt is on. The hot 
Jatn is better at noon than morning, but 
it should not be taken soon after eating, 
or in the evening, unless the case is ur- 
gent.. One or two quarts of water is 
sufficient. Autumn is the season besta- 
dapted to the use of the hot bath; 
Flannels next the skin during the sick¬ 
ly season, is a precaution worthy of atten¬ 
tion. 
If the above remarks benefit only one

ful remarks from, others, I shall be equal¬
