ving the vasomotor tone. These children, however, will not stand
well the abstraction of heat from their thin and chilly little bodies,
so that it is a good plan before the colder douche to immerse the
child in a hot bath and to return again to the bath momentarily
afterwards. With these precautions children will often enjoy a cold
spray, the temperature of which may be constantly lowered as they
become used to it. Prolonged hot bathing has a correspondingly
prejudicial effect.
_(d)_ We must be on the watch to prevent the development of further
postural deformities, such as scoliosis. If a child of strong muscular
tone and good physique habitually adopts some posture, curled up, it
may be, in some favourite easy-chair, there is little likelihood that
its constant assumption will produce deformity. When the muscular
system is lax and weak, on the other hand, deformity such as scoliosis
is very readily caused. It is important, for example, to see that the
child does not habitually incline to one side in reading or writing.
When there is little energy for free and energetic play the children
are apt to become great bookworms. If there is shortsightedness, the
dangers are correspondingly increased. A special chair may be made
with a well-fitting back and the seat a little tilted upwards so as to
throw the child's trunk on to the support of the back. Lastly, a desk,
the height of which can be regulated at will, can be swung into the
proper position. The child, sitting straight and square, with the
weight supported by the foot-rest and back as well as by the seat of
the chair, should be taught to write with an upright hand, avoiding
the slope which leads to sitting sideways with the left shoulder
lowered.

be of undoubted service.
(3) RHEUMATISM AND CHOREA
It is certain that there is a close association between rheumatism in
childhood and the common nervous affection known as chorea. We are

Various, or Various Production, is an English dubstep/electronic music duo formed in 2003. The group blends samples, acoustic and electronic instrumentation, and singing from a revolving cast of vocalists. Its members, Adam and Ian, purposefully give very little information about the group or themselves, and tend to do little in the way of self-promotion.[1] Nevertheless, the group began winning critical acclaim with its single releases in 2005 and 2006.[2] Their full-length for XL, The World is Gone, arrived in July of 2006.[3][4][5][6][7] They have released a large number of vinyl EPs and 7 records, as well as digital exclusives for Rough Trade, iTunes, and Boomkat.[8]
