Keeping elenn means more than washing one's face and taking an oeeasionai hath. Keeping clean means keeping clean outside and inside. Scientific but Its to cause pepspiration (which is nature's method forgetting impurities out of the system) are merely a step further than ordi nary baths. They are just as important to your health, in fact more important than the usual tub bath. While the tub bath removes outside dirt, baths such as we give here take out the inside dirt. While we are prepared to give the baths and treatments for diseases, we believe that the greatest good we can accomplish is in the prevention of dis ease through keeping the body clean. Once a week, a scientific vapor bath with a needle spray or shower and au alcohol rub, will keep you feeling fit and trim. Trv it. Costs no more i than a Turkish bath, yet more pleasant and bene- , ficial. Separate apart iiieut.s for ladies, with lady attend- j ants. ! Dr. R. J.
