Very high temperatures should beavoided in the hot immersion bath, because of the tendencyto excitation of the brain and heart. A temperature of 120°is dangerous to life, and a bath at 110° should not be con-tinued more than 10 or 15 minutes. The hot bath is also a powerful derivative. Baltz consid-ered it a specific in the capillary broncJiitis and bronchialpneumonia of children, but found it of no benefit in croupouspneumonia. It operates in these cases as a derivative meas-ure, relieving the overfilled vessels of the lungs by congestingthe vessels of the skin and the muscles. Its effect ismanifested very quickly. The breathing at once becomeseasier, and the cough ceases. The temperature of the bathin such cases should be 104° to 106°; its duration from 5 to15 minutes. As soon as strong reddening of the skin appears,the patient is removed from the bath. Such a bath may beapplied to children two to four times in the twenty-four hours,.
