Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Eastern, or Turkish Bath: Its History, Revival in Britain, Application to the Purposes of Health The Bath that cleanses the inward as well as the outward man, that is applicable to every age, that is adapted. To make health healthier, and alleviate disease whatever its stage or severity, deserves to be regarded as a national institution, and merits the advocacy of all men, and particularly of medical men 5 of those whose special duty it is to teach how health may be preserved, how disease may be averted. My own advocacy of the Bath is directed mainly to its adoption as a social custom, as a cleanly habit 3 and, on this ground, I would press it upon the attention of every thinking man. But, if, besides bestowing physical purity and enjoyment, it tend to preserve health, to prevent disease, and even to cure disease, the votary of the Bath will receive a double reward.
