Synopsis
Excerpt from The Eastern, or Turkish Bath: With Its History, Revival in Britain, and Application to the Purposes of Health
The bather is now subjected to the process of shampooing - that is, his muscles are pressed and squeezed, his joints are stretched and bent in various directions. In the hands of the professional shampooer the process is elevated to an art, and words fail to convey other than a very imperfect idea of its nature.
