However, - specifically for the dry skin, - we find
it would be well once or twice a week to take almost a bath in Peanut Oil,
- but this more as a massage, to be sure. A small quantity - say
two tablespoonsful - should be enough to make a complete massage.
Do this over the whole body. Begin with the temples, the face, neck,
shoulders, along the spine, limbs, arms - all parts of the body, and especially
give this across the diaphragm area; that is, from the liver - or almost
a circular portion of the body, see? This will make a GLOW and a

For this condition we find that a course of hydrotherapy
treatments would be best, - which would include first a mild fume bath
- using Witchhazel in the fumes; and then CONSIDERABLE massage with oils
that would aid in stimulating this coordination between the superficial
and this deeper circulation. The oils should be a combination of
one-third Olive Oil and two thirds Peanut Oil; that is:
Peanut Oi1..................3 ounces,
Olive Oi1...................1 ounce,
Lanolin, melted.............1 tablespoonful.

the area of the sacral, the 9th dorsal, and between the shoulders; and

better circulation to the body, effecting the beneficial condition for
the dryness of skin, and the inclinations for bumps or blemishes on exposed

will be absorbed from the palm of the hand. Begin at the hair and
go plumb down to the toes - that is, from the edge of the hair into the
temple and neck and the upper portion of the chest, across the shoulders
and arms, and down either side the spine and across the abdomen, and -
of course - across the pelvic areas, all the way to the limbs and even
to the toes themselves; gently but thoroughly. Take about thirty

circulation to that area especially over or along the cerebrospinal through
the rib area.
