INDICATED FUME BATHS.

SHNHE subscriber has (at.he request of several
IL physicians) had erected at his residence on
Louisiana avenue and the corner Of 9Th street, near.
ly opposite the Unitarian church, and on the same
square with the Bank of Washington one of Mr..
B. SWETT'S CELEBRATED PATENT SUI
PHUR FUME BATHS, for the cure of rheu-
matsm, salt-rheum, scroua. functional disturbance
of the heart the stomach the liver and the lungs.
Gin 1916, DR.. Gales, of Paris, published, by
order of the French Government his reports on the
efficacy of sulphurous lumgations in the treatment
OF the diseases Of the skin, joints and gandular sys
tenn, chronic rheumatism, paralytic affections &C.,
where it has been in use since.
The apparatus has recently been erected in many
parts of this country, and meets the entire approba-
ton of the medical faculty, being of the best con-
structon for comfort and convenience.
The face is not included within the apparatus.
Fbe individual inhales as pure an atmosphere as
when sitting in parlor, and is wholly unconscious
that his person is completely enveloped in a dense
cloud Of dry medicated vapor. \
The amount Of perspiration can be regulated at
the will of the person in attendance, and may be
more or less copous the nature of the disease and
the condition of the patient may require.
The subscriber has in his possession many ex-
tracts from the most celebrated medical journals and
physicians, which can be seen by any who wish TO
avail themselves of the Baths.

If any have scruples about taking the BATH we
advise them first to consult their physician.

memento of her revered and departed pa
rents; and the humane man Of the law
would willingly have given it to her, but
her inexorable creditor declared every thing
would be sold, as he was determined to
have all that was owing him.
The book was, therefore, put up, and
about being disposed Of for a few shllings,
when she suddenly snatched it, and de-
clarng she would have some relic Of those
she loved, cut The slender thread that held
the brown linen cover, with the intention
of retaining it. The cover fell into her
hands, and with it, two flat pieces Of thin,
dirty paper. Surprised at the. circumstance,
she examined them, and what was her 10y
and delight to find they each called G5O0
on the Bank Of England. On the back OF
one, in her mothers handwriting, were
the following words: When sorrow over
take ye, seek yer Bible.' And on the other,
in her fathers hand !: Yer fathers ears are
never deaf
The sale was Immediately stopped, and
the Family Bible given to lis faithful own
er. The furniture sold was readily offered
to her by those who had purchased, which
she gladly took back. Having paid ofher
relentless creditor to the utmost farthing,
and rented small house in the village OF
, she placed the balance her mo-
ney in such way as to receive interest
enough to keep her comfortable, and is now
able to enjoy the precepts Of the old family
Bible without fear or molestation. Her
time and attention is devoted to the bring
ing up Of her bright blue eyed Alice, and if
the happy smiles of the countenance may
be considered an index Of The heart and
mind, little Alice bids fair to be a shining
star in the community, of which she at
present forms but unit.
AT the Meeting house in the centre OF
the village may be seen every Sunday, sit
ting about halfway up the south aisle, a
lady a.out thirty years Of age, dressed in
deep mourning, with a face glowing with
the beauty OF holiness, but on whom may
be seen deep traces of past sorrow. AT the
public house in the same place, and at the
same time, may also be seen being in the
garb Of man, bloated and sotting over the
poisoning bowl. The one i the possessing
widow, The other the protesting neighbor

feeling it matter OF Importance to the IN

ProvidentalIy placed in situation at this

still further open a medium of communica-

as not only to be able to put daily paper
regularly to press, but also weekly; and
still further, be able to do any other print

no cause of complaint. He has made ar
ransements by which he can devote his
time to the interest of the Office and the pa

Fenton, who will be always on the spot, TO
conduct the printing, he has no doubt but
that general satisfaction will be given. We
shall make arrangements to have the earliest
news; also the proceedings of Congress.
We wish all who are indebted for the pa

Of the tri-weekly must be closed. They
will perceive that we are about to give
them better paper, double the number, al
the same price.
