MEssRs. EDIroRs | noticed some days
since, your remarks in relation TO bathing, and
a bathing establishment, and from all sides
hear expressed surprise that there should not
be. in our city, eommodous, neat, cheap and
we'll conducted establishment OF the kind-an
establishment properly got up, and properly
conducted, would be public blessing, and could
not fail to renumerate abundantly the proprie-
tor of it,
Meantime, an admirable substitute can be
found in the tasty and convenient chamber
shower baths, just received, and offered for
sale by Mir. c. w. BOTHER, JR., at his furni
ture ware rooms on the avenue. These baths
have but recently been introduced at the north,
and already manufacturers of them are turning
them out in thousands. In Massachusetts.
they are in almost universal use, and are fast
making their way into warmer climates, where
their efficacy is, if possible, more fully aPpre-
ciated than at the north. The bath, as have
before remarked, is neat, and occupies but lit
tie room in the bed chamber; requires no case;
easy of adjustment; and is sold at price that
places it within the reach of persons of mode
rate incomes. To individuals OF weak and
nervous temperament, this bath IS priceless
gift, and cannot be too highly eulogsed.
A small part Of the money, squandered on
g fire water," which destroys not only the bo-
dy, but the soul, will place in convenient
form, every morning and evening, and in ones
bed chamber too, pure ,oater bath, the free
use of which cleanses and supports the outer
man; fits him better to discharge the duties of
life, and conducting, in wonderful degree, to
calm and resigned state of the mind.
