RATIONAL HYDROTHERAPY. When larger quantities are needed, it is only necessary toItiply each of the combining quantities by the same num-ber. For instance, if a gallon and a half of water is neededpQi a foot bath at 106°, pour into a pail or bath-tub fourquarts of fresh well water and then add two quarts of boilingwater. If four gallons of water are wanted for a sitz bath at93° (a very common temperature), pour into the bath-tubthree gallons of fresh well or spring water, and add one gallonof boiling water. Thus any required quantity may be ob-tained at the temperatures given. The cold water should beplaced in the vessel first, and there should be no delay inadding the hot water, as it would rapidly lose its heat, andthus make a larger quantity necessary. The exact measure-ment is not necessary ; it is only that the proper proportionshould be maintained, the same measure being used for bothhot and cold water, with both of which it is filled an indicatednumber of times. ^\ In elevate
