The sitz bath is best taken in the regular sitz bathtub made for the purpose, but an ordinary bathtub or a washtub or pan may be used with equally good effect.

The boys followed him and began to peel off their wet uniforms, leaving them in two sodden piles on the floor.
If you want to give me something in return I certainly could use three pounds of dried apples." The doctor rode on down the mountain. Tom and Sairy had a frugal dinner. Then the former lay down to take the prescribed nap, and the latter set her washtub on a box in the yard beneath the peach trees. Tom didn't sleep long; he said every time he was about to drop off he thought he heard wheels.

Kindly ring the bell next door." "Then it was Sam, and I'll fix him for it, see if I don't!" "No, it wasn't Sam. He never touched a washtub in his life."
