An automatic temperature regulator has now been introduced which does not allow the water of the spray to exceed 135 degrees in temperature under any circumstances. This temperature may be borne for at least half a minute without serious discomfort, sufficient time being thus allowed for making any desired change in the adjustment of the valves...
