VIEW OF WASHINGTON CITY AND
GEORGETOWN

I'VE are indebted TO the publisher, Mr. Casimir
Wv Bohn, Of this city, for splendid photographic
view of the city of Washington and Georgetown,
and the adjacent country, including, upon the
margin, particular representations of the important
public buildings and other objects ofnterest in the
city and vicinity. The view to have been
taken from the terrace at the Capitol and embraces
the whole range of Pennsylvania avenue, and the
remaining portion of the city westward from that
point. IL is very correct and very faithfully exc
cuted. 1t is altogether superior to any view of
Washington and its vicinity which we have ever
seen. 1t forms a beautiful and pleasing picture,
and will be deemed a very desirable ornament for
the parlor II is work involving great labor on
the part of the artist, and considerable expense on
that of the publisher, which we trust may be amply
remunerated by liberal and generous patronage
on the part of the public. 1t may be had of MIR.

TO THE PUBLIC.

I'HE light OF science Is penetrating the mist
Il which has 80 long shrouded the cause Of Asiatic
Cholera. Eminent physicians and naturalists in
Europe, and in this country, have ascertained be-
yOnd doubt the presence of vast numbers Of animal
cule in the atmosphere Of places infected by this
well as other diseases. The "myriad races" of
these insects, in their various kinds, therefore
believed To be the medium by which cpidemical
and contagious diseases spread. similar
opinion was 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 in the past season TO be OF general
advantage. II is well known that eminent
physician of France ascertained, by an experiment
ON his own person, that the disease commonly
called "ltch'' is caused by animalcule, which the
iume 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 intention
ally impregnated with this "potent AGENT or ac-
cidentdlly (such as attendants in works where gas
is obtained from bituminous coal,) enjoyed perfect
immunity from cholera.
The only known means, even at the present day,
for applying this, or any other vapor, to the human
system In portable and safely recunibent 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
salutary baths Of that country. This machine can
be used any chere, with perfect ease, then placed
entirely out Of the way, and costs but tribe, as
considerable part can be made by females. Am
pie testimonials at hand, from numerous Uni
ted States surgeons, and other respectable physi-
clans, in and out Of Congress, on which was found
ed the unanimous adoption Of the inuention by both
Houses. These documents show the admirable pow
er OF different applications in this apparatus of pro-
noting health at all times, ('means which no fam
lily should be without,") and aiding the physicians
in its restoration. For sample of their opinions
as TO its advantages in Cholera, the following
| tract from one given by the estimable and we'll
experienced Chief of Bureau of Medicine and Sur.
| gerry, Is offered: "The improvement which you
have made in your bathing apparatus, very high.
! ly approve, as it combines means which must be
highly serviceable. Its structure is simple, and
easily managed in its adaptation to Cholera" SC
Statements of recent remarkable cases also given
Applied at the Office Of the undersigned, City
Hall, east wing basement, No. %, and at the resi-
| dence of the sick. Plain drawings and instructions
furnished to families individuals at five dollars
including patentright. Public institutions in pro.
portion. powerful and safely graduated electro
galvanic apparatus also applied.
