What is 
an Internal Bath? 
By R. W. Beal 
UCH has been said and 
volumes have been writ¬ 
ten describing at length 
the many kinds of baths 
civilized man has in¬ 
dulged in from time to 
time. Every possible re¬ 
source of the human mind has been 
brought into play to fashion new 
methods of bathing, but, strange as 
it may seem, the most important, as 
well as the most beneficial of all 
baths, the “Internal Bath,” has been 
given little thought. The reason for 
this is probably due to the fact that 
few people seem to realize the tre¬ 
mendous part that internal bathing 
plays in the acquiring and maintain¬ 
ing of health. 
If you were to ask a dozen people 
to define an internal bath, you would 
have as many different definitions, 
and the probability is that not one 
of them would be correct. To avoid 
any misconception as to what consti¬ 
tutes an internal bath, let it be said 
that a hot water enema is no more 
an internal bath than a bill of fare 
is a dinner. 
If it were possible and agreeable 
to take the great mass of thinking 
people to witness an average post¬ 
mortem, the sights they would see 
and the things they would learn 
would prove of such lasting benefit 
and impress them so profoundly that 
further argument in favor of internal 
bathing would be unnecessary to con¬ 
vince them. Unfortunately, however, 
it is not possible to do this, profitable 
as such an experience would doubt¬ 
less prove to be. There is, then, only 
one other way to get this informa¬ 
tion into their hands, and that is by 
acquainting them with such knowl¬ 
edge as will enable them to appre¬ 
ciate the value of this long-sought- 
for, health-producing necessity. 
Few people realize what a very 
little thing is necessary sometimes to 
improve their physical condition. 
Also, they have almost no conception 
of how a little carelessness, indif¬ 
ference or neglect can be the funda¬ 
mental cause of the most virulent 
disease. For instance, that universal 
disorder from which almost all hu¬ 
manity is suffering, known as “con¬ 
stipation,” “auto-intoxication,” “auto¬ 
infection,” and a multitude of other 
terms, is not only curable but pre¬ 
ventable through the consistent prac¬ 
tice of internal bathing. 
How many people realize that nor¬ 
mal functioning of the bowels and a 
clean intestinal tract make it impossi¬ 
ble to become sick? “Man of to-day 
is only fifty per cent, efficient.” Re¬ 
duced to simple English, this means 
that most men are trying to do a 
man’s portion of work on half a 
man’s power. This applies equally to 
women. 
That it is impossible to continue to 
do this indefinitely must be apparent 
to all. Nature never intended the 
delicate human organism to be 
operated on a hundred per cent, over¬ 
load. A machine could not stand 
this and not break down, and the 
body certainly cannot do more than a 
machine. 1 here is entirely too much 
unnecessary and avoidable sickness in 
the world. 
. V°'Y man y people can you name, 
including yourself, who are physically 
vigorous,, healthy and strong? The 
number is appallingly small. 
. It ’ s pot a complex matter to keep 
in condition, but it takes a little time, 
and in these strenuous days people 
have time to do everything else neces¬ 
sary for the attainment of happiness 
but the most essential thing of all— 
that of giving their bodies their 
proper care. 
Would you believe that five to ten 
minutes of time devoted to systematic 
internal bathing can make you 
healthy and maintain your physical 
efficiency indefinitely? Granting that 
such a simple procedure as this will 
do what is claimed for it, is it not 
worth while to learn more about that 
which will accomplish this end? In¬ 
ternal Bathing will do this, and it will 
do it for people of all ages and in all 
conditions of health and disease. 
People don’t seem to realize, 
strange to say, how important it is 
to keep the body free from accumu¬ 
lated body-waste (poisons). Their 
doing so would prevent the absorp¬ 
tion into the blood of the poisonous 
excretions of the body, and health 
would be the inevitable result. 
If you would keep your blood pure, 
your heart normal, your eyes clear, 
your complexion clean, your mind 
keen, your blood pressure normal, 
your nerves relaxed, and be able to 
enjoy the vigor of youth in your de¬ 
clining years, practice internal bath¬ 
ing and begin to-day. 
Now that your attention has been 
called to tbe importance of internal 
bathing, it may be that a number of 
questions will suggest themselves to 
your mind. You will probably want 
"to know WHAT an Internal Bath is, 
WHY people should take them, and 
the WAY to take them. These and 
countless other questions are all an¬ 
swered in a booklet entitled “THE 
WHAT, THE WHY and THE 
WAY OF INTERNAL BATHING,” 
written by Dr. Chas. A. Tyrrell, the 
inventor of the “J. B. L. Cascade,” 
whose life-long study and research 
along this line make him the pre¬ 
eminent authority on this subject. 
Not only has internal bathing saved 
and prolonged Dr. Tyrrell’s own life, 
but the lives of a multitude of hope¬ 
less individuals have been equally 
spared and prolonged. No book has 
ever been written containing such a 
vast amount of practical information 
to the business man, the worker, and 
the housewife; all that is necessary 
to secure this book is to write to Dr. 
Chas. A. Tyrrell at Number 134 West 
65th Street. New York City, and 
mention having read this article in 
House & Garden, and same will be 
immediately mailed to you free of all 
cost or obligation. 
Perhaps you realize now, more 
than ever, the truth of these state¬ 
ments, and if the reading of this ar¬ 
ticle will result in a proper apprecia¬ 
tion on your part of the value of in¬ 
ternal bathing, it will have served its 
purpose. What you will want to do 
now is to avail yourself of the oppor¬ 
tunity for learning more about the 
subject, and your writing for this 
book will give you that information. 
Do not put off doing this, but send 
for the book nozv while the matter is 
fresh in your mind. 
_ “Procrastination is the thief of 
time.” _ A thief is one who steals 
something. Don’t allow procrastina¬ 
tion to cheat you out of your oppor¬ 
tunity to get this valuable informa¬ 
tion which is free for the asking. If 
you would be natural, be healthy. It 
is unnatural to be sick. Why be un¬ 
natural, when it is such a simple 
thing to be well? ( Advertisement )
