OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
" The Use and the Abuse of the Turkish Culverwell,e
useful pamphlet has been published by Dr. the
proprietor of the Turkish Baths in the neighbourhood of the
Post-office, which presents to the uninitiated a mass of inte-
resting information, wlaile those who have already encouraged
this new system will derive additional advantag e if they
observe some of the practical regulations which the wri
er
endeavours to enforce."—Herald and Standard, Nov. 12,1861.
" The Post-office Turkish Baths, 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand.
—Dr. Culverwell has already established the reputation of
an able physician ; he has now proved himself to be a worthy
philanthropist, in as far as he has established, in the heart
of the City, an institution that more nearly than any disco-
very of modern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice
of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established,
the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct
the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess
one of the best set of baths, at 19, St- Martin's-le-Grand,
which the country can produce; perfect in all its appliances,
atnd most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted uP
his baths with a degree of elegance, luxury, and refinement,
which, considering the space at his disposal, is truly sur-
prising, while everything that taste or delicacy could desire
has been obtained to add to the comfort and luxury of the
visitor. . We may justly say that if a man ever feels
himself regenerated and new.made, it is on:coming out/0f a
lurkiebl34th."—Nra, Oct 13, 1801.
