Pat describes how the water would turn the bathing costumes brown after some time and that the Victorian construction seat used would terrify some patients. She explains that she also worked in the modern treatment centre giving electrical massage and mud packs, which were very popular and would be applied to patients for about 20 minutes to help the circulation. She then goes on to describe in detail how the mud pack would be made.
