In bathing at home, after lathering the whole body with warm water and soap, a cold sponge bath containing a handful or two of either Tidman's or Brill's Sea Salt will be found very invigorating. We have before us a splendidly got up work entitled "Luxurious Bathing," published by Messrs. Field and Tuer, Leadenhall Street, E.C. The book is beyond praise, its well-executed etchings entitle it to a place on the drawing-room table, and its advice to those who value health, is simply invaluable. Those who suffer from weakness, or who dread the winter's cold, would do well to combine a course of bathing, with one of tonics and cod liver oil. De Jongh's light brown is the only oil we ever use. Those who wish to regain health in a month, "by the sad sea waves," cannot err by taking the following rules as a guide. They are from a Magazine article of ours:-- _Simple Rules for Seaside Enjoyment_. 1.--Before leaving home, study your trains, pack trunks the day before, don't forget anything, and avoid hurry and excitement. 2.--Look for rooms quietly, in a clean, quiet street or suburb, and see that the rooms are clean and airy. 3.--Rise early every morning, soap down and tub from head to heel, eat a biscuit, and go for a walk. 4.--Regular hours, regular exercise, regular meals, and regular medicine (if you need it). 6.--Enjoy yourself all you can, but 'ware excitement and fatigue. 6.--Strong men may bathe before breakfast, but the best average time is about three hours after breakfast. 7.--Walk at a moderate pace to the bathing ground, so as to be neither too hot nor too cold, and undress as speedily as possible. 8.--It is better to plunge at once into deep water; don't unless you can swim, however, but after bending down and laving the face and both arms, drop right underneath the first wavelet. 9.--If you can swim, swim and nothing else; if you cannot, you can at least tumble about and keep moving, and also rub your limbs with the hands. 10.--Come out before you have actually ceased to enjoy yourself. 11.--It is better to have your own towel, one at least, and let it be moderately rough. 12.--Rub your face, shoulders, limbs, and body, using moderate friction, and finish drying with a smoother towel. 13.--When quite dry, dress, and it ought not to be at all necessary to dress quickly. 11.--If faintness or sickness comes on, which must be looked upon as quite an accident, lie down for a few minutes. 15.--After dressing, a brisk walk should be taken; and now a lunch biscuit will do you service. 16.--Remember that the glow after the bath is the grand event to be looked for. 17.--If instead of this glow a decided chill takes place, and is not removed by a brisk walk, a small drop of brandy taken along with a biscuit becomes a necessity, or for ladies a glass of some cordial. 18.--If you are an invalid, try to forget it; if a Hercules or a Webb, forget that. 19.--Don't forget flannel under-clothing if at all delicate.
