Since the revival of the bath Of antiquity, and its introduction into this country under the name of the Turkish bath, this method of bathing has become very generally adopted; and although onward progress is rendered less rapid than it might be, by the wide-spread popular ignorance that ascribes an element of danger to the bath, erroneous impressions are being gradually removed, and the continual building of new baths testi fies to the manner in which the institution ?ourishes on British soil. To what extent the delusion concerning the supposed danger connected with this form of bathing is to be ascribed to popular ignorance and prejudice, Or to the fact that baths of unsuitable design and construction, and Of faulty heating and ventilation, are put before the public, it would be hard to say. Certain it is that the latter cause has done much — very much — injury.
