HYDROPATHY. 268 
No. 11, SULPHUR BatH.—This can be prepared by simply 
throwing a handful of the flour cf sulphur into a basin or pail 
of tepid water. Sponge it on the body, and let it remain on; 
that is, dry without wiping it off. 
No, 12, Hor Arr or TurxisH Batu.—A very good and 
simple way to get all the benefits of this oriental bath is to 
cover over with blankets, and put some methylated spirits into 
a saucer, and set fire to them. If too much heat is evolved, a 
piece of tin put on the saucer will, by covering some of the 
surface, lessen the flame and heat. After perspiring 
suthciently, wash down as in the vapour bath. (See Thompson’s 
course.) 
Varour Baty ApPARATUS.—We have had made to order 
avery simple and useful contrivance for giving the vapour 
bath. The boiler is made of strong tin or galvanized iron, 
round, about 10 inches in diameter and six to eight high. A 
tapering spout, half-inch opening, at one side of the top to 
aliow a rubber tube to slip over. Opposite to the spout, put 
a tap to regulate the supply of steam. The tap may be screwed 
in or a separate hole made for a cork to allow of 
filhng the boiler. The rubber tube should be about 
six feet long, the end of it taken under the chair, put 
into a cup on its side, or a receiver, which is simply a tin with 
a perforated top. holding some herbs through which the steam 
passes up to the patient. It will be needful to have the top to 
slip off soas to get in and out the medicines when a medicated 
steam bath is needed. We can supply the apparatus 
complete for 15 shillings.
