[THE
QUIET
MIND
ENJOYS
THE
SWEETEST
REST.]
2450.
Bedclothes.
The
perfection
of
dress,
for
day
or
night,
where
warmth
is
the
purpose,
is
that
which
confines
around
the
body
sufficient
of
its
own
warmth,
while
it
allows
escape
to
the
exhalations
of
the
skin.
Where
the
body
is
allowed
to
bathe
protractedly
in
its
own
vapours
we
must
expect
an
unhealthy
effect
upon
the
skin.
Where
there
is
too
little
allowance
for
ventilation,
insensible
perspiration
is
checked,
and
something
analogous
to
fever
supervenes;
foul
tongue,
ill
taste,
and
lack
of
morning
appetite
betray
the
evil.
2451.
Vapour
Baths.
Vapour
baths
may
be
made
by
putting
boiling
water
in
a
pan,
and
placing
a
cane-bottom
chair
in
the
pan,
the
patient
sitting
upon
it,
enveloped
from
head
to
foot
in
a
blanket
covering
the
bath.
Sulphur,
spirit,
medicinal,
herbal,
and
other
baths
may
be
obtained
in
the
same
manner.
They
should
not
be
taken
except
under
medical
advice.
2452.
Vapour
Bath
at
Home.
Another
equally
easy
but
far
more
effectual
method
of
procuring
a
vapour
bath
at
home
is
to
attach
one
end
of
a
piece
of
gutta-percha
tubing
to
the
snout
of
a
kettle
on
the
fire,
and
to
introduce
the
other
end
below
the
chair,
on
which
the
person
who
requires
the
bath
is
sitting,
enveloped
in
a
blanket
as
described
above.
2453.
Hot
Water.
In
bruises,
hot
water
is
the
most
efficacious,
both
by
means
of
insertion
and
fomentation,
in
removing
pain,
and
totally
preventing
discoloration
and
stiffness.
It
has
the
same
effect
after
a
blow.
It
should
be
applied
as
quickly
as
possible,
and
as
hot
as
it
can
be
borne.
The
efficacy
of
hot
water
in
preventing
the
ill
effects
of
fatigue
is
too
well-known
to
require
notice.
