The Tonic Use of Water.
Cold water Is the universal tonic ,
The best tlmo for tal\lng a collI bath
for tonic efCect IG just aftcr getting
out of bed In the mornIng , when the
body Is warm. A cold bath should
never bo talten when ono Is chl11ell.
Ono not a custometl to cold bathing
should begIn carefully with , water not
coMer than 75 deg. l . The bath should
bo short , not to C'xcced a mInute , and
for feeble Ilersons not moro than flf.
teen or thlrt ) . seconds when applied
to the whole surface. The bath
should bo Immedlntely fol1owcd by
rUhblng and exerclso Cor fifteen to
thirty minutes. There should ahva's

dlcatlons of excesslvo renctlon. When
ono experiences such s'mptol11s , the
Indlcntlon Is thnt the bath was too
long or too coM or not fol1owed hy
sufficient oxerclso. For feehle , vel' ) '

used should rarely ho lower than G5
degrees to 75 degrees In wInter , The
bath should bo talcon In a suitably
warmed room.
