HINTS FOR BATHERS.
Don’t bathe immediately you arrive at a place just because it looks tempting; a rest is absolutely necessary after a train journey. Don’t forget that a silk or woolly costume is better than cotton — even those least to the water can bathe on, a very cool day without taking chill if wool or silk is worn. Don’t bathe just after a meal; allow at least one hour to elapse before entering the water. Don’t, unless you are a strong swimmer and in good health, swim a long distance out —fatigue or cramp may overtake you. Don’t indulge in bathing late at night unless very sure of your ground. ' Don’t, unless you have an abundance of hair, expose a bare head to the sun —it is only courting sunstroke and other dangers.
Don’t, when visiting a strange place fail to make enquiries from some reliable source as to the safety of bathing —and bide by what you are told. Don’t be afraid of a dip because you have never “been brought up to it.” If the heart is strong and the circulation good you will derive great benefit.
