THE light of science is penetrating the mist
Il which has 50 long shrouded the cause Of Asiatic
Cholera. Eminent physicians and naturalists in
Europe, and in this country, have ascertained be-
pond doubt the presence of vast numbers OF animal
cule 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 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
carly enough in the past season TO be OF general
advantage. Il is well known that eminent
physician Of France ascertaned, by an experiment
on his person, that the disease commonly
called "ltch" is caused by animalcue, which the
fume Of sulphur lamong 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 infenfion
ally impregnated with this potent agent" or as-
cidenfally, (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 recunberf manner, IL
the apparatus invented by the undersigned, in the
State Of Ohio, and lately completed by him in Tur-
key; by adapting IL 10 giving the far-famed and
salutary baths OF that country. This machine can
be used any tDhers with perfect case, then placed
entirely out Of the way, and costs but trihe,
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 Die inUenfion BY both
Houses. Thesc documents show the admirable pow

noting health al all tmes, ('mcans which no fam
lily should be without,") and aiding the physicians

To the above noticed testimonials the following

"During my late inspectorship OF the United
Statcs penitentiary the benefits derived from the
use of your vapor Bath, in almost miraoulousy
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 i'm
stution, and rendered. in my opinion, the value Of
The invention incalculable."
