The disease, temperament and constitution of each individual must be taken into account and the temperature and frequency of the bath must be determined and regulated by the necessity and idiosyncrasies of each case.

With both men I followed the same tactics roundabout chatting on the topic of this or that, and finally an honest confession as to the real purpose of my visit.
