This bath scarcely differs from the preceding. It consists in the
dashing of one or more pailfuls of water upon the body of the bather by
an assistant. By means of a proper arrangement, the bather can
administer the bath himself. For this purpose, a pail or other vessel
filled with water may be suspended or supported above the head of the
bather in such a way that it can be quickly upset by drawing upon a
string attached to the side. The stream should fall upon the shoulders,
chest, back, or hips, but not upon the head or over the region of the
stomach. This bath may be applied after any warm bath, and should be a
little cooler than the bath which precedes it. Whether taken alone or
after another bath, it should always be followed by vigorous rubbing.
