A Few Helpful Suggestions in Maintaining Health

EACH morning immediately after rising, take a cool shower spray or full bath, wipe dry quickly, and follow by vigorous rubbing with the hands until a good reaction is brought about. Avoid very coarse towels. These applications should be as cold as can be borne, and short. The colder the water, the shorter should be the application. The whole treatment should not require more than three minutes. If the shower-bath is not accessible, a little cold water in a basin will answer the purpose, using a sponge or the bare hand in applying the water. Dress quickly, and take a brisk walk for half an hour in the open air, or take some special exercise. Do not carry exercise to the point of fatigue or exhaustion. If faithfully followed, this will be found to be a most wonderful tonic, and an almost sure protection against cold.—Selected.
