. Handbook to Bath; prepared on the occasion of the visit of the British Association, 1888. APISTON MEN TAXIP. HOT MINERAL SPRINGS OF The BATHS were IJNDED by the Romans in the first century, and, uninterruptedly con- tinued on one site to the present time, through successive changes of peoples, opinions, fashion, neglect, reduction, and enlargement. The Establishments of the Baths are unrivalled for scientific appliances of water and vapour as well as for luxurious appointment. The Mineral water is most liberally given m large Rechn- ing Baths, which are more ample than it is believed can be found elsewhere, whilst what are called " deep " Baths are a speciality, each containing more than 800 gallons of water. The Aix les Bains douches are each provided with a powerful pressure and volume of water from two douche pipes which are readily regulated as to temperature, and provided with thermometers and pressure guages. There is also an additional douche (a feather douche) of the most delicate construction, and a graduated shower. There are various Sitz Baths, Sprays, Lave, Needle Baths, and ihternal injections of every authorised variety:—Hot-plates and douche for Lumbago and other complaints :—Dry and moist heated rooms with atomised spray. Vapour as given off from the Spring is applied locally to the arms, legs, etc., or to the whole body, combined with atomised water or with- out, as also with a graduated shower.
