A TURKISH BATH
HOW TO HAVE IT AT HOME. Get four stout wooden frames made, each measuring 3ft in width by 3ft 2in in height (or just high enough to reach the patient's neck when ho is seated). Braco each one with cross pieces of thin wood. Then'fix all four together with webbing just as a clothes-horse is hinged. . Cover the outside, with American cloth, all in one piece, taking care to allow the framework to be folded, up. This can best be done by standing the bath-cabinet in position before putting the oilcloth on. Flaps of the American cloth, a little over half a yard wide and long enough to overlap each end a little, must be fixed to two opposite sides to form, a top, and an opening for the neck made in each. . Two or three spring buttons at either side of neck opening form a fastening, and a towel wrapped round the neck will keep in the steam. Proper heating stoves are sold for the purpose, but in lieu of one for creating steam a pail with hot water and a hot brick in this, placed under a eane chair, is sufficient. A simpler plan is by making use of an ordinai-y clothes-horse, with a. very large blanket spread over it.
