| Summary: | salt water . . . [In winter] every night about an hour before going to bed, _salt-water_rocks_ which had been heated in the oven were placed in ghe bed.

Of course after rocks were removed from the oven they were wrapped in old clothing such as sweaters so as not to burn the feet DNE-cit JH 10/71 Used I and Sup Used I 2 Used I [see 'lap rock'] |
