Probably
a
weekly
soap-and-water
bath
is
all
that
is
absolutely
essential
for
cleanliness
if
one
follows
a
daily
regimen
which
will
maintain
a
condition
of
internal
cleanliness.
In
fact,
the
cleansing
of
the
external
body
is
not
required
with
such
frequency
if
one
secures
sufficient
muscular
exercise
and
follows
a
dietetic
and
general
regimen
that
will
guarantee
sufficient
activity
of
all
the
eliminative
functions;
but
if
one
neglects
to
employ
other
measures
that
help
to
maintain
the
purity
of
the
blood
and
the
activity
of
the
skin,
then
more
frequent
baths
are
required
to
insure
cleanliness.
It
has
been
my
custom
to
recommend
a
hot
soap-and-water
bath
once
or
twice
a
week,
depending
upon
the
individual
requirements,
and
a
daily
cold
bath.
The
hot
bath
is
to
be
used
as
a
cleansing
agent
while
the
cold
bath
is
a
tonic
exclusively.
A
regimen
of
this
sort
will
usually
be
satisfactory
where
one
is
taking
a
general
system
of
exercise
nearly
every
day
which
will
insure
a
certain
amount
of
internal
functional
activity.
Note,
however,
that
the
cold
bath,
though
of
some
value,
is
not
necessary,
when
following
the
hot-water-drinking
regimen.
There
has
been
much
controversy
as
to
whether
or
not
cold
baths
are
really
beneficial,
since
in
some
cases
they
have
proved
harmful.
Under
such
circumstances
the
failure
to
secure
good
results
may
have
been
due
to
ignorance
of
the
principles
involved
and
to
the
lack
of
vitality
essential
to
reaction
from
the
shock
of
the
cold
water.
A
great
deal
depends
upon
the
manner
in
which
the
cold
bath
is
taken
and
the
physical
condition
of
the
individual
taking
it.
