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-
resting information, while those who have already encoursavd
this new system will derive additional advantage if tfiey
observe some of the p actical regulations which the writer
endeavours to enforce."—Herald and Standard, Nov. 12,1881.
" The Post-office Turkish Bath,,, 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand.
—Dr. CulverwFll 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 p►oposition 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,
and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted up
Ms baths with a degree of elegance, luxury, and refinement,
which, considering the space at his disposal, is truly sur-
prising, while everythins; 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:of.,a
'Turkish Bath."—Era, Oct. 13, 1861.

REVIEWS OF THE WORK.
"Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work, and
should be in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Times,"
13d March, 1856.
"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
Which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27, IS5a.
" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in a plain
and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications
and impediments arising from iiervous excitement and de-
bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
excesses it will be found valuable and useful."—Record.
