e
sake, I have divided into ten different groups, some of which may need
to be applied simultaneously in certain cases.

They are as follows:

23. Ablutions with vinegar and water, 1 part vinegar, 2 parts water.

24. Abdominal packs, vinegar and water, dito

25. Partial packs:
(a) Vinegar and water, dito
(b) Radium and salts.

26. Partial packs:
(a) Arms.
(b) Legs.
(c) Neck.
(d) Shoulder.

27. Three-quarter packs, vinegar and water, dito

28. Gymnastics.

29. Massage.

30. Breathing Exercises.

31. Oxygenator Baths.

32. Radium and Salt Baths.
(a) Half.
(b) Whole.

NOTE--=The Vinegar= indicated to be used for these treatments, and
in all similar treatments, packs, or ablutions, prescribed, is the
natural, or what is known as "Apple Cider Vinegar." The manufactured
or ordinary table vinegar, as made from chemicals, is not suitable
for the purpose.

From these groups a treatment is usually prescribed in each and every
case of disease.

The importance of ablutions especially packs is so great that it is
necessary to give further explanations concerning them:

In a general way, it is necessary to apply a bath or an ablution (See
Form 23) when the test with the thermometer, usually applied under the
tongue, in arm-pit or in the rectum, shows that the temperature of the
patient exceeds 100 degrees. The patient grows restless, his skin feels
dry and the pulse, which regularly is 70 to 80 with adults, 90 to 100
with children, and about 130 with infants, shows an increased speed. As
soon as these symptoms appear, they indicate that the immediate cooling
off of the body by means of a bath, an ablution or a pack is necessary.
Adults will always show the desire for such instinctively.

In extreme cases baths or ablutions should be administered several times
every day.

Healthy people perspire as soon as they become too hot. This means that
they cool off through the evaporation of the perspiration. This is
supplemented by the bath and its cooling effect; balancing the higher
temperature of the body with the lower temperature of the water, brings
this about. The blood which flows towards the skin during the bath is
cooled off, and returns in this condition to the interior of the body,
and is immediately followed by other quantities of blood.

Since the blood circulates through t
