TIME light of science is penetrating the mist
u which has 50 long shrouded the cause of Asiatic
Cholera. Eminent physicians and naturalsts 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 as other diseases The "myriad races of
these insects, in their various kinds therefore
believed to be the medium by which epidemicaI
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 ascertaned, by an experiment
on his own person, that the disease commonly
called 'sltch" is caused by animalcule, which the
fume of sulphur (among its other admirable quail
ities) promptly destroys strong coincidence with
which, appears in a fact published late in the past
season, that persons whose systems intention
ally imprcgnated with this "potent agent" ae-
cidentaity, (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,
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 it to giving the far famed and
salutary baths Of that country. This machine can
be used any iohere, with perfect ease, then placed
entirely out of the way, and costs but trihe, as
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 found
ed the unanimous adoption Of the inpenfion 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
to its advantages in Cholera, the following ex
tract from one given by the estmable and we'll
experienced Chief Of Bureau of Medicine and Sur
gerry, is offered; s'The improvement which you
have made in your bathing appara tus, 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" &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
patentrght. Public institutions in pro-
portion. A powerful and safely graduated electro
galvanic apparatus also applied
ADDITIONAL.
To the above noticed testimonials the following
extract is offered, from recently received from
Captain Thomas Carberry, one of our early cti.
zens, distinguished for his general and active be
nevolence. Among the s'very remarkable cures"
TO which he aludes were several malignant and
extensive diseases of the skim which the yapor bath
brings the surface, instead of effecting a temporary
cure; or, still worse, acting as dangerous repel-
liant, to which liniments, &C., are liable:
"During my late inspeGtorship of the United
use of your vapor Bath, in almost miraculous |
arrestng the progress of a dangerous, malignant
epidemic, and performing other remarkable cures, |
elected the warm appreciation of the late Drs. |
Thomas and Scott, at the time physicians Of the in
and rendered. in my opinion, the value Of
The invention incalculable."
