=" Why tciH ye die 2"

TNHE light of science is penetrating the mist
i which has so 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
cue, in the atmosphere of places infected by this
| as well other diseases. The 'smyriad races OF
these insects, in their various kinds, therefore
believed to be the medium by which epidemical
and contagious diseases are spread. A similar
opinion was advanced by the French Medical
school, and different persons, in 1892; 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 ia well known that an eminent
physician of France ascertained, by an 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 intention
ally impregnated with this dpotent AGENT or ac-
cidentally, (such attendants in works where gas
is obtained from biuminous coal,) enjoyed perfect
immunity from cholera.
for applying this. or any other vapor, to the human
System in portable and qfely recmLent manner, is
the apparatus invented by the undersigned, in the
State Of Ohio, and lately completed by him in Tur-
key; by adapting 1t to giving the far famed and
salutary baths of that country. This machine can
be used any ,ohere, with perfect ease, then placed

considerable part can be made by females. Am

ted States surgeons and other respectable physi-
clans, in and out of Congress, on which was found

Houses. These documents show the admirable pow
of different applications in this apparatus Of pro-
noting health at all times, (""means which no fam
lily should be wthout,'O and aiding the physicians
in its restoration. For sample Of their opinions,
to its advantages in Cholera, the following ex-
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

highly serviceable Its structure is simple, and

BLACKwOOD's MAGAZINE
And the British Quarterly Reviews

PREMIUMS TO NEW sUBsCRIBERsl
OWING TO the late revolutions and counter revo-
" utions among the nations of Europe, which
have followed each other in such quick succession,
and of which "the end is not yef" the leading peri
odicals of Great Britain have become invested with
a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc-
cupy middle ground between the hasty, disjoipt-
ed, and necessarily imperfect records Of the news-
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous reatises
be furnished by the historian at future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem ii proper to
call renewed attention to these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they are offered 10
subscribers. The following is their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained the views mod
erately, though clearly and firmly expressed Of the
three great parties in England--Tory, Wing, and
Radical. " "Blackwood" and the /" London Quar-
tcrly'' are Tory; the Edinburgh Review" Wing;
and the 81 Westminster Review" Liberal. The
North British Review" owes its establishment TO
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland,
and is not ultra in its views any Of the grand
departments of human knowledge; IL origin
ally edited by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his
death, is conducted by his SON law, DIR. Hanna,
associated with Sir David Brewster. It's literary
character is Of the very highest order The "West
Minister, though reprinted under that title only, il
published in England under the title Of the " For.
eign Quarterly and Westminster" il being, in
fact, union OF the two Reviews formerly published
and reprinted under separate titles. II has, there
FORE the advantage by this combination Of uniting
in one work the best features Of both heretofore
issued.
The above periodicals are reprinted in New York,
Immediately on their arrival by the British steam
ers, in n beautiful clear type, fine white paper,
and faithful copies of the originals Blackwoods
Magazine being an exact fae-simiis Of the Edin-
burgh edition.
