Morning hours devoted to women exclusively - during which time free instruction is given...Roman, Russian, Turkish and electric baths administered by a corps of graduate nurse masseurs. As a cleanser, rejuvenator, for reducing unessential flesh and raising the standard of general health, physicians agree the scientific bath has no equal. |
