A Salt Water Bath at Home.

A cup of rock salt added to the water for a cold or cool bath will lessen the shock to persons who can not take a plain cold bath, and will also refresh and invigorate one much like a sea bath. Dissolve the salt thoroughly In the water. This is more quickly done in warm water than cold; hence it can be done i-n a bowl, then poured into the cold bath. A warm salt water bath, from 83 to 90 degrees, will induce sleep in a restless or feverish child. Add a cup of salt to six gallons of water, not rinsing the skin afterward, but rubbing it down with the hands. “llow did our brother, the editor, die?" “Dead game.” “But I mean spiritually?" “Chock full.”—Atlanta Constitution
