The
devitalized
condition
of
the
various
glands
and
structures
in
this
part
of
the
body
is
gradually
remedied
by
the
improvement
in
the
circulation
that
comes
with
what
might
be
termed
a
stimulating
supply
of
liquids,
and
the
same
good
result
is
accomplished,
so
far
as
the
general
circulation
is
concerned,
in
the
welfare
of
the
body
as
a
whole.
Those
suffering
from
high
blood
pressure
will
find
this
treatment
of
unusual
value,
though
great
care
should,
of
course,
be
taken
to
avoid
any
movements
that
are
in
any
way
exhausting
or
violent.
When
the
blood
is
in
a
thick
or
viscous
condition
the
use
of
the
hot
water
adds
to
its
fluidity,
and
it
can
then
be
forced
more
easily
through
the
capillaries,
thus
greatly
lessening
the
blood
pressure.
It
is
well
known
that
a
low
blood
pressure
is
conducive
to
endurance
and
to
general
health.
And
when
these
exercises
especially
advised
for
stimulating
the
nerve
centers
and
for
strengthening
and
vitalizing
the
spine
are
combined
with
a
liberal
use
of
hot
water,
the
blood
is
forced
through
all
the
tissues,
with
the
general
effect
of
thoroughly
cleansing
all
parts,
in
addition
to
immediately
cleansing
the
alimentary
canal.
It
is
customary
among
athletes
to
use
massage,
or
what
is
commonly
called
a
"rub
down,"
following
their
exercise.
The
purpose
of
this
is
to
increase
the
circulation
and
thereby
to
carry
out
of
the
muscles
the
fatigue-poisons
that
have
accumulated
therein
during
the
exercise.
Now
if
a
large
amount
of
hot
water
is
used
in
connection
with
movements
such
as
we
are
illustrating,
this
purpose
will
be
even
more
thoroughly
accomplished
during
the
exercise
itself,
as
the
muscular
and
other
tissues
are
virtually
flushed
out
owing
to
the
more
fluid
character
of
the
blood
and
its
more
ready
and
perfect
circulation
through
all
parts.
One
who
feels
stiff
from
severe
exercise,
or
finds
his
tissues
sore
for
other
reasons,
should
be
able
to
overcome
this
stiffness
and
gain
a
sense
of
refreshment
through
this
method.
