In the early 1800s, many doctors thought that bathtubs could carry diseases, so they advised against their use.

In the 19th century, only one home out of six had a bathroom. A child took only one bath a week. On Saturday nights, children all lined up for their turns to wash in a wooden bathtub in the kitchen. Mothers had to boil the water on the stove and carry it over to fill the bathtub. It’s no wonder that children could not jump into a bathtub as they do today. When the first bathtubs were introduced, even their makers weren’t sure whether the new fashion would last. They advertised(做广告) their products as water containers that “could be used as bathing tubs”. The bathtub became popular in America shortly after World War I. By then most middle-class families had indoor taps. At first most bathtubs were made of wood, but as the popularity of the product increased, so did the creativity of bathtub makers. Before porcelain(瓷) bathtubs there were rubber ones like the plastic swimming pools kids use today. In the past few years owners often invited guests to see them. They told their friends how wonderful baths in these bathtubs could be. Now doctors no longer warn that bathtubs carry diseases. Instead, they tell their patients about the benefits(益处) of frequent bathing in the bathtubs. Maybe one of the best reasons why doctors encourage frequent trips to the bathtub is that bathed patients smell better! 21. Many doctors in the past were against using bathtubs because ______.
