ADDITIONAL.

To the above noticed testimonials the following
extract is offered, from recently received from
Captain Thomas Carberry, one of our early citi-
zens, distinguished for his general and active be.
nevoence. Among the every remarkable cures''
to which he alludes were several malignant and
extensive diseases of the skin, which the vapor bath
brings 10 the surface, instead of effectng Temporary
cure; or, still worse, acting dangerous repei-
lanf, to which lniments, &C., are liable:
"During. my late inspectorshP of the United
States penitentiary the benefits derived from the
use of your yapor Bath, in almost miraculously
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
stituon, and rendered, in my opinion, the value of
the invention incalculable."

TO THE PUBLIC.


YNiE light of science s penetrating the mist
IL which has SO long shrouded the cause of Asiatic
Cholera. Eminent physicians and naturalists in
Europe, and in tins country, have ascertained be-
yond doubt the presence of vast numbers Of animal
cule in the atmosphere of places infected by this
| as 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 contagious diseases spread. 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 is well known that an eminent
physician of France ascertained, by experiment
on his own person, that the disease commonly
| called "Itch" is caused by anmalcule, 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" ac-
cideHtally, (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, or 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 machn can
be used any iohers, with perfect ease, then placed
entirely out of the way, and costs but trifle, 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 inpention by both
Houses. These documents show the admirable pow
er 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 estimabe and we'll
experienced Chief of Bureau of Medicine and Sur
gerry, is offered: 'sThe improvement which you
have made in your bathing apparatus, very high
iy 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. 2S, 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
galvanic apparatus also applied.
