The sauna hath extracts body-poisons by inducing a high rate of sweating. f

The rate is higher than pos sible in a conventional steam: bath because the essentially ‘dry’ heat of the sauna—with only 10 per .cent humidity—al lows temperatures up to nearly 170 degrees. That’s much higher than the hitman body could stand in the’ ‘‘wet’’ heat of a steam bath. he bath is heated by® an.‘electric | stove
