lay off your extra clothing, and remove from the fire.—

merely a wash-bowl of water; this will remove impurities from the
skin.—

817. Frequent bathing is very beneficial, especially at night just
before retiring, or upon rising in the morning. It will take but a few
moments to give the children a bath, and to rub them until their bodies
are in a glow. This brings the blood to the surface, relieving the
brain.—

818. Bathe frequently in pure soft water, followed by gentle
rubbing.—
