upon its inner face with mirrors 14 and the i doors are providednpon their exterior faces 15 so that when the cabinet is closed, as in Fig. 1, it will present a neat appearance. These panels and doors are adapted to be arranged, as shown in Fig. 5, to conceal a tub 16 which is adapted to extend out to the position shown in Fig. 5 and be folded into the cabinet in the position shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The tub is connected to the back 17 of the cabinet by means of extension rods 18 and is supported when in extended position upon folding legs 19 which lie alongside of the tub when in folded position. The tub is supplied with water by means of tanks 20 which are arranged along the sides of the cabinet and have faucets 21 connected to their lower portions and which are supplied with flexible tubes 22 adapted to conduct the water to the tubes. A similar tank 23 is mounted in the compartment 24 between the partition 6 and the top 4 and is connected to a shower head 25 through a pipe 26 having a valve 27 therein, which is controlled by a lever 28 and depending chain 29. These tanks have passing therethrough coils of pipe 30, 31 and 32, the latter being located in the tank 23 and being connected to the coils 30 and 31 by pipes 33. The coils 30 and 31 are passed through the bottom of the tanks 20 where they carry funnels '34 located immediately over blue flame burners 35 which get their supply of /through pipes 36 connected to the burners and to supply tanks 37 arranged in the compartment 24 behind the tank 23. Suitable supply nipples 38 are connected to the tank and extend through the top 4 so that the tanks may be supplied with oil and suitable valves 38 and 39 are arranged in the pipes to regulate the supply of fuel to the burners. heat passes up through the coils 30 and 31 and finds exit through a pipe 40 which is connected to the coil 32 intermediate its ends and extends through the top of the tank 23 and the top 4.

The tanks 20 are provided with suitable safety valves 41, and in order that the user of the cabinet may utilize the device for obtaining the vapor bath, a steam valve 42 .is

The

secured to each tank adjacent its top. A-

similar valve 43 is secured to each tank and is connected to the coil therein so that when therethrough into thewabinet and the user may enjoy a Turkish bath.

These curtains are preferably of similar construction to the ordinary window shades and are mounted upon spring rollers 46 adjacent the sides of the casing. In taking the shower bath, the user stands within a foot tub 45v which is let into the bottom Sand is pro vided with an outlet 48 which may be con nected with a sewer or may be discharged in any other suitable manner. The tub is also provided with a discharge opening 49 which has connected to it a flexible pipe 50 to con duct the water to any suitable point of dis charge.

The tanks 20 and 23 are preferably connected by means of valve pipes 51 and 52 which may be connected through a pipe 53 to any suitable source of water supply, which may also be filled by hand, if desired. The valves 54 and 55 n control the supply of water to the tanks 23 and 20 respectively. Suitable sliding doors 56 are arranged in the base of the tanks so'as to permit access to the burner compartments.
