...diseases which arise from the presence of too much blood or a deficiency of the same, and what effect either of these conditions has upon a person mentally or physically. Thus, one who studies very hard is likely to find his feet or hands cold even in a warm room, because he uses his blood to such a great degree in his head. Again, a person who exercises exclusively on the parallel bars may have feet and legs which are unable to support him from the same fact. The lecturer instanced an example of the last kind which had come...
...tepid bath is the best to take after exercise. While a warm bath would probably do one no harm, the absurdity of such a course was well shown. Exercise tends to circulate the blood rapidly and bring it to the surface; a warm bath simply causes such a state of things to continue. A cold bath immediately after exercise is very injurious. If a man were strong and vigorous it might not do him any harm, but for most men it is almost an attempt at suicide, as it drives the blood back upon the heart and lungs...

Men go into the shower-bath room and, turning on the warm water, will leave it running when there is no need of it. In the early part of the afternoon, when there are comparatively few men using the room, there is no necessity of keeping the water running continually. If every man would simply take the slight trouble of turning the faucet when he steps from under the bath, much water would...
...fire and opening the registers at six o'clock in the morning. I am not a sexton, but I know that in well-regulated churches the sexton starts the furnace fire on Saturday, and often on Friday. In this way not only is the room sure to be warm, but the heat by that time can be adjusted to the right temperature. In buildings like Massachusetts and University, rarely used until examination time, this previsional care is almost absolutely necessary...
