Upon the tiled flooring are placed four slabs of marble, six feet in Jength, and at the height of about five feet, having a slight inclination towards the fout. Each slab is provided with an india-rapber bose, connected with the myerants. by means of which a steady stream of water can be kept running upon the bodies.
