COLUMBUS MEDICAL BATHING HOUSE,
1t gives us much pleasure to say, that this es-
Enlistment is now open for the season.
To those who have once bathed in these
waters, no word Of commentator from us is
necessary; tuthosc who have never used them,
we can say, (our experience having sustained
the opinion of the Medical faculty of Columbus
that they are not only great and cheaplux-
ury, but. that moderate and judicious use O
them conduces much to health. If persons
will, Immediately after coming out of the bath
drink two or three glasses of the water, they
viii find that it viii almost invariably pro
duco gentle perspiration, which is truly de
lightful. The bath should be used only in The
morning and evening unless by those in thu
immediate vicinity; for walking back to tin
business part of the city, through the warn
midday sun, with the system in that relaxe,
state which is always produced by it, is, w
believe, positively injurious.
