ane Hundred and Twenty-one Life-boats under its man-
, cement, for the maintenance of which, in a state of thorough

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

" The Use and the Abuse of the Turkish Bath.—A very
useful pamphlet has been published by Dr. Culverwell, the
proprietor of the Turkish Baths in the neighbourhood of the
Post-office, which presents to the uninitiated a mass of inte-
restieg information, while those who have already encouraged
this new system will derive additional advantage if they
observe some of the p actical regulations which the writer
endeavours to enforce."—}lerald and Standard, N0v.12,1861.
" The Post-office Turkish Batho9, 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 bathe, at 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand,
which the country can produce; perfect in all its appliances,
and 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 Outiof a
Itutieh Bath."—Era, Oct. 13, 1861.
