A NEW BATH CURE.
DR.. Sapp's New Electro Thermal Bath
Cure--A Model Establishment.

Oatn cure, complete IN every respect,
and which will doubtless prove a bles-
sing to our community. DR.. L. w.
Sapp, the well-knOwn and popular
/ physician, is the man to whom Cleve-
land owes the establishment of this
institution, which in the future is to
be one of great benefit to our beauti-
ful city. Well persons and also in
valids may well rejoice, fer here is a
remedy for almost all human ailments
and benefit alike to the sick and
well.
For the past month the building No.
"A Ontario street has been the scene of
busy preparations. All classes of
mechanics have been busily engaged
in tearing down partitions, removing,
cleansing and putting things in shape
for the great transformation. The
house has been refitted, painted, pre-
pared and everything done to make
the building comfortable and elegant
in all its appointments. 1t is need
less to say that so far as the convent
ences for baths are concerned, all the
most approved appliances have been
] brought into requisitiOn, and a visit
/ to the cure will convince any one that
| DIR. Sapp understands what he is do
| ing and intends to make his new en-
| terprise a success in every respect
Yesterday afternoon our reporter visi-
ted the scene of operations, and altho'
workmen were engaged in putting on
the finishing touches, yet all was in
apple pie order, and the appearance
of things denoted that no pains or
| expense was being spared to render
the cure a model in its way.
THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE CURE.
On entering the door, the visitor is
ushered into a spacious reception room
or office, where the patrons of the in
stitutiOn are received and their wants
attended to. The room is handsome
" furnished and carpeted, and is a
sample of what will be found in 9TH
er parts of the building. Adjoining
this reception room are two electro
thermal bath rooms, intended especi-
ally for the accommodation of ladies.
The rooms are caTpeted and the cleo
tro-thermal bath tubs are new and
constructed upon the newest and
most approved pattern. Connected
with these rooms is a vapor and
shower bath also for ladies, so arranged
that a person can take both an electro
thermal and vapor bath without be-
ing put to any Inconvenience. In the
rear of these bath rooms IS the ladies'
dressing room, neatly furnished and
designed for the comfort of the patrons
OF the establishment.
Ascending to the second floor, the
visitor finds himself ushered into an
elegant front room, which is DIR.
Sapp's private consultation room, and
which is furnished in the same sump-
tuous style as the rooms below. On
this floor are two large electro thef-
NAL bath rooms for gentlemen, va
por bath and gentlemen's dressing
room, arranged and furnished in tie
same manner as the rooms on the first
| floor. There is also an ingenious ar
rangement for sulphur and mercurial
baths, on this floor, which are recon-
mended by the medical profession as
particularly efficacious in eruptive
diseases.
The third floor is devoted to ordi-
nary bath rooms, where anyone can
be accommodated with hot or cold
bath, as may be desired. 1t is well
known that the bath rooms in hotels
and barber shops are not kept in such
a state OF comfort and cleanliness as
could be desired, but these, we are as
sured by the courteous doctor, will be
kept so neat and clean that the most
fastidious person cannot find fault.
THE BATHS.
AS stated above, this establishment
will be known as DIR. SapD's Electro
Thermal Bath Cure. The different
kinds of baths that can be had here
! are as follows: EIectro-Thermal,V Va
por, Medicated VapOr, Sulphur, Mer-
curial and Iron. The species of dis
ease which these baths are designed
to cure are of the nervous order, and
comprise paralysis, neuralgia, rheu-
matism, scrofula, general debility,
diseases Ofthe heart and lungs, ,catarrh,
bronchitis, liver, spleen and kidney
complaints. In all cases, these baths
have proved themselves all that they
are represented to be, and all sufferers
from any of the above named diseases
would do well to visit DR.. Sapp, and
put themselves under his care, to be
treated in the bath cure
The electro-theTmal bath, besides
| being efficaciOus in various diseases, is
a delightful, refreshing bath for per-
sons in perfect health. The bath tub
i so arranged that the electricity can
be applied to any part of the body, or
all parts, and flows through the limbs
and body in an uninterrupted current,
creating an extremely agreeable SEN
sation.
THE ATTENDANTS.
Experienced attendants are en-
ployed on each floor of the house, and
patients will be kindly cared for and
| skillfully treated. The remainder of
| the block, consisting of four spacious
houses, will be furnished for the ac.
commodatiOI of patients who may
wish TO lodge in close proximity to
the Cure, and st. Clair Place, ,immedi-
ately adjoining, is convenient place
| for obtaining meals. The houses are
heatsd with steam throughout, and as
before stated, are furnished in luxu-
rious and comfortable style.
REMARKS.
DIR. Sapp will give his patients at
! the Cure, the benefit of his extensive
medical experience and will person.
ally supervise the administering of the
various baths. The Doctors skill in
| his profession is too well known to
need comment here. We would say
however, that his enterprise in estab-
! fishing this Bath Cure should be ap-
preciated, as it doubtless will, and the
liberal patronage which he deserves
should be extended.
| No expense has been spared to make
this perfect establishment. 1t is at
| the same time elegant, neat and COM
Portable, perfect in all its appoint
ments, and above all in a location of
prominence, easy of access, and the
| rates for treatment will be so reasona-
BILE as to be within the reach of all
| We would advise all sufferers to call
at "A Ontario Street and inspect DIR.
Sapp's new establishment and satisfy
themselves that what we have said is
not exaggerated. We believe and
/ trust il will be a success, and depend
upon the liberality of our citizens to
make it so. J. V. Mathivet, the we'll
known plumber and steam filter, has
had charge of the steam apparatus
and plumbing, which is a guarantee
that every convenience in this line
has been supplied.
A few finishing touches yet remain
to be given, which will necessarily
delay the opening of the Cure until
Tuesday OF Wednesday of the coming
week. After that date, the Doctor will
be pleased to receive his friends and
patients i'm his new quarters, and we
believe that all will be astOnished at
| the change that has been made in the
appearance of the building. Call and
