Time for Bathing

Time for Bathing.

Invalids are recommended, as far as possible, to adhere to the following suggestions:—Take a bath before breakfast, a second in the afternoon, and a third before going to rest at night, drinking a cupful of the mineral water both before and after each bath; ac-cording to the nature of the disease, and the strength of the patient, the number of baths per day can be increased or reduced; from five to fifteen minutes in ordinary cases is about the usual time to remain in, but patients will soon learn from their own instincts and feelings, the time best suited to their constitution.
