    To go naked.

    "It was alleged, moreover, that the practive of stripping young persons sometimes is eminently conducive to their health, to strength of body, symmetry, beauty, and to morality, and virtue ; and that even grown persons may derive much benefit from remaining some hours, in mild weather, without their clothes. It was most manifest that the children liked to nakedize—such was the term of art—exceedingly; but it was something new and different from the ordinary routine of jackets, trowsers, and petticoats; — in a word, it was a change."
