Chapter 12

Bathing.--Cold Baths, while greatly to be recommended to those who are strong, should not be taken by anyone who does not feel invigorated by them. As everyone should, if possible, bathe daily, the following method is worth knowing, as it combines all the advantages of hot and cold bathing. The principle is the same as explained in "Cooling" in heating. Sponge all over with hot water and wash with M'Clinton's[*] soap; then sponge all over with cold water. No chilliness will then be felt. Very weak persons may use tepid instead of cold water. These baths taken every morning will greatly prevent the person catching cold.

Cold bathing in water which is hard is a mistake, especially in bathing of infante. The skin under its influence becomes hard and dry. Warm bathing and M'Clinton's[*] soap will remedy this.

Eczema.--Skin eruptions known under this name have very various causes. Treatment must vary accordingly.

Where the cause is a failure of the skin to act properly, the whole skin of the body, especially the chest and back, will be dry and bard. In this case apply soap blankets.

If the soap blankets be too severe on the patient, then apply general lathering with M'Clinton's[*] soap. Use a badger's-hair shaving brush, and have the lather like whipped cream, with no free water along with it. We have known a few of these applications cure a case of long standing.

Where general debility is present along with the disease, use all means to increase the patient's vitality. Simple diet is best, and abundance of fresh air within and without the house by night and by day.

[Footnote *: _If not stocked by the local grocer, samples of toilet, shaving, and tooth soap can be had from the Makers, M'Clinton's, Donaghmore, Tyrone, Ireland, on receipt of 3d. to cover postage, or a large assorted box will be sent post free for 2/6._]

Recent Reform Enterprises.

Since the first edition of REFORM COOKERY was issued some four years ago, there has been an immense development in the production of dainty varied non-flesh foods, depots for the sale of these, and restaurants where both the food and preparation thereof leave nothing to be desired. Indeed, so multifarious are the contributions towards the "simple life" that it threatens to become more complex than the other. However, we need not take everything offered to us--at least, not all at once--but can select at will and make our choice.

In the way of recently opened Restaurants, I would draw the special attention of visitors to Glasgow to the "Arcadian," 132 St Vincent Street. It is exquisitely appointed in every way, while the menu and service are all that could be wished for. Most of the Health Foods can also be had here.

Glasgow, indeed, leads the way, for there during the past few months Messrs Cranston have equipped two of their magnificently-appointed luncheon rooms, at 28 Buchanan Street and 43 Argyll Arcade, to the service of Reform dietary. The name is a guarantee for everything being most attractive and up-to-date.

Then in Edinburgh, Messrs Richards & Co., 73 N. Hanover Street, who have long been noted for the supply of pure foods, have added tea and luncheon rooms--a decided boon to vegetarians in Auld Reekie.

In Birmingham, Winter's Luncheon, Tea Rooms, and Balcony Cafe are among the most up-to-date to be found anywhere. Music daily, 12-2 and 4-6 o'clock, is one of the many attractions. Besides this, Mr Winter ranks with the first in the manufacture, supply, import, and distribution of Health Foods, his premises having extended from a single shop to the splendid premises at City Arcades within a very few years.

Messrs Mapleton's recent enterprise has been referred to already. The beautifully-situated estate at Wardle, near Rochdale, should afford ideal conditions for both work and worker.

Still more recently, The International Health Association, pioneers also in this respect, have removed from Birmingham to Stanborough Park, Watford, Herts.

W.H. Chapman, Liverpool, has also extended very largely of late. His productions now comprise well nigh the whole range of Health Foods--all of first quality.
