our friend WEIGH can slagger through t,ro
years, with Truck and Dicker Barber on his

to fear that " Free Democracy" is pretty sub

of living, under lis heavy verbosity, and leader

TO THE PUBLIC.
ann . IL. %,

TINHE 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 be-
yond doubt the presence Of vast numbers of animal
culc 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 epdemical
and contagious diseases spread. similar
opinion 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 we'll known that eminent
physician OF France ascertained, by an experiment
on his own person, that the disease commonly
called 'Itch" is caused by anmalculs, which the
fume OF sulphur (among its other admirable quail
ties) promptly destroys; a 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
cidentaiiy, (such as attendants in works where gas
is obtained from bitumnous coal,) enjoyed perfect
immunity from cholera.
for applying this, any other vapor, to the human
system in portable and safely rectunbent 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
be used any ,chere, with perfect ease, then placed
entirely out OF the way, and costs but trife, 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
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 a sample of their opinions,
as to its advantages in Cholera, the following
tract from one given by the cstimable 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. It's 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. A powerful and safely graduated electro

To the above noticed testimonials the following
extract is offered, from one recently received from
Captain Thomas Carberry, one of our early cit-
zens distinguished for his general and active be-.
nevolence. Among the every remarkable cures
to which he alludes several malignant and
extensive diseases of the skin, which the vapor bath
brings TO the surface instead Of effectng temporary
cure; or, still worse, acting dangerous repel-
liant, TO which linments, &C., are liable:
'During my late inspectorship of the United
States penitentiary the benefits derived from the
use of your Vapor Bath, in almost miracuously
arresting the progress Of 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

the invention incalculable."
