Modern Baths and Bath Houses #250099

Modern Sanitation recently commented on the fact that while for many years the subject of 'bathing' enjoyed a long slumber, it is gratifying to note the now constantly increasing reference to bathing and its benefits. In his practice as a sanitary engineer the author has had ample opportunity to deal with the subject of baths and bath houses in a practical way. Many of the baths in State hospitals and other institutions were installed under his superintendence, and the plumbing, water-supply and sanitary features of a number of the public or people's bath houses in the city of New York were planned and specified by him.
