JVhy ,oiH ye die ?''

TNHE light of science is penetrating the mist
Il which has 80 long shrouded the cause of Asiatic
Cholera. Eminent physicians and naturaists 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 other diseases. The ''myriad races Of
these insects, in their various kinds, therefore
believed TO be the medium by which epidemical
and contagious diseases spread. similar
opinion was advanced by the French Medical
school, and different persons, in 1885 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 stitch" is caused by anmalcul9, which the
fume of sulphur (among its other admirable quail
ities) promptly destroys; strong coincidence with
which, appears in fact published late in the pass
season, that persons whose systems we're intention,
ally impregnated with this "potent agent" or ac-
cidentaliy, (such attendants in works where gas
is obtained from bituminous COAL enjoyed perfect
immunity from cholera.
The only known means, at the present day,
for applying this, any other vapor, to the human
system in portable and safely recumbent manner, is
the apparatus invented by the undersigned, in the
State of Ohio, and lately completed by him in Tur
key; by adapting i to giving the % ar.ia%ed and
be used any uAere, with perfect ease, then placed
entirely out of the way, and costs but trfie, as
considerable part can be made by females. Am
pie TESTIMONIALS arc at nanu. from numerous Uni
ted States surgeons, and other respectable physi-
clans, in and out of Congress, on which found
ed the unanimous adoption Of the inuention 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 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 serviceabe. 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. %, and at the resi-
dence of the sick. Plain drawings and instructions
furnished to families individuals, at FIVE dollars,
including patent-right. Public institutions in pro-
portion. powerful and safely graduated electro
galvanic apparatus also applied.
