FTNHE light of science ia penetrating the mist
i which has 80 long shrouded the cause of Asatc
Cholera Eminent physicians and naturalists in
Europe, and in this country, have ascertained be-
yond doubt the presence of vast numbers of animal
culg in the atmosphere OF places infected by this
as well as other diseases. The "myrad races of
these insects, in their various kinds, are therefore
believed TO be the medium by which epidemical
and contagious diseases spread. A similar
opinion advanced by the French Medical
school, and different persons, in 1882; although the
admirable scientific plans for investigation, above
noticed, were not then attained, nor published
early enough III the past season to be OF general
advantage II il well known that an eminent
physician OF France ascertained, by au experiment
ON his own person. that the disease commonly
called '.Itch" is caused by animalcule, which the
fume of sulphur (among its other admirable quail
ities) promptly destroys strong coincidence with
which, appears in fact published late in the past
season. that persons whose systems were intention
ally impregnated with this s'potent agent" ac-
cide'itdliy, (such attendants in works where gas
is obtained from bituminous coal,) enjoyed perfect
immunity from cholera.
The only known means even at the present day
ior applying this or any other vapor, TO the human
system in portable and safely rec,imbent manner is
the apparatus invented by the undersigned, in the
State OF Ohio, and lately completed by him in Tur-
key; by adapting it TO giving the far famed and
sa lutary baths OF that country. This machine

During my late inspectorship of the United

arresting the progress of dangerous, malignant
epidemic, and performing other remarkable cures,
