:" Whu tciH ne die 2"


THE light of science is penetrating the mist
i which has so long shrouded the cause of Asiatic
Cholera. Eminent physicians and naturalists in
Europe, and in this country, have ascertained De-
yord doubt the presence of vast numbers of animal
cule in the atmosphere of places infected by this
we'll as other diseases. The "myriad races' of
these insects, in their various kinds, therefore
believed to be the medium by which epidemical
and conta gious diseases spread similar
opinion 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. 1t 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
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 "potent agent" or
cideitally, (such attendants in works where gas
is obtained from bitumnous coal,) enjoyed perfect
immunity from cholera.
The only known means, even at the present day,
for applying this, any other vapor to the human
system In portable and safely rec,.mbent 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 tchere with perfect ease, then placed
entirely out of the way, and costs but trifie, as
a considerable part can be made by females. Am
pie testimonials are at hand, from numerous Uni
ted States surgeons, and other respectable physi-
clans, in and out of Congress, on which was found
cd the unanimous adoption Of The inuenfion by both
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 without,) and aiding the physicians
In its restoration. For sample OF their opinions,
as to its advantages in Cholera, the following ex-
tract from one given by the cstimable and well
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 1t combines means which must be
highly serviceabie Its structure is simple, and
easily managed in its adaptation TO Cholera" &c.
Statements Of recent remarkable cases also given.
Applied at the Office Of the undersigned, City
Hall, east wing basement, No. 2S 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. A powerful and safely graduated electro
galvanic apparatus also applied.

VIEW OF WASHINGTON CITY AND
GEORGETOWN.

WE are indebted to the publisher, Mr.. Casimr
wv Bohn, Of this city, for splendid lithographic
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 Of interest in the
city and vicinity. The view seems 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. II is very correct and very faithfully exc
cuted. 1t is altogether superior 70 any view OF
Washington and It's vicinity which we have ever
seen. II forms a beautiful and pleasing picture,
and will be deemed 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 trust may be amply
rcmunerated by liberal and generous patronage
on the part Of the public. II may be had Of Mr.
Bohn the publisher at his stand at the Capitol, and
probably at the stores of the booksellers in this
city, Tnion Feb 26-T&S4w

a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc-

the very low prices at which they are offered to
