A snippet of the first episode of Shakespeare's Pants, on the subjects of washing and bathing.
Anjna Chouhan This is physician William Vaughan in 1600.
Actor Cold and natural baths are greatly expedient for men subject to rheums, dropsies, and gouts. Neither can I easily express in words how much good cold baths do bring unto them that use them. Howbeit with this caveat I commend baths to wit, that no man distempered through venery, gluttony, watching, fasting or through violent exercise, presume to enter into them.
