Tap0r Baths. Mr.. Henry Jessey,

yabO1 AANAh S~SSr3
formerly of our city, is canvassing our
county for = new and most excellent
invention for the administering Of va
por baths, the hygienic properties Of
which are acknowledged BY all the SCI
entfc ard medical men Of tie country.
Mr.. Jessey hes amodel with him which
can be examined by these wishing to
investigate, or acsirous of purchasing.
It has long been the opinion of some
Of the most learned men in the school
of medicine that the administrations re-
medal agents (by evaporation),
through the pores ofthe skin by Absorb
tion,. is the true and most natural way
to reach the seat of all chronic, cutan-
eous disease. This is the theory invol-
we'd in the new discovery for which Mr..
Jessey is canvassing our couaty, and
for which he holds state right. We
have not room to give even a synopsis
of the many advantages offered by tn is
new plan, but to give onl y brief de-
sctipsion of the ''box' as it is termed,
Comprising the bath. Suffice it to say
chat it is a box about two feet
wide and about four high, and three
long, opening by door suitable for
the admission of the patient who is pro-
vided with comfortable seat The
door closes about the neck of the pa
tient, leaving the head free from the
heat cngcndered by an alcohol lamp
over which is placed a vessel containing
the medicine to be administeres-in the
in the form Of powder,--and over
which is still another vessel or reser-
voir for water or such other liquid as
may be required We have given, we
are aware very imperfect description
of the bath and would advise those
interested to examine the model and
consult with Mr.. Jessey who viii give
all required Information cheerfully.
For all chronic diseases and skin
disorders the vapor bath is a grand
thing, to say nothing of its worth as a
means to cleanliness. 1t is luxury.
For all classes of rheumatism it Is
counted specific. Mr. Jessey is pre-
pared TO sell family rights, or rights to
counties we think he must meet with
very great success.

Every year increases the populari- .ty of this valuable Hair Preparation; which is due to merit alone. We can assure our old patrons that it is kept fully up to it's high standard; and it is the only reliable and perfect ed preparation for restoring GRAY OR FADED HAIR to it's youthful color; making it soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp, by it's use, becomes white and clean. It removes all eruptions and dandruG and, by it's tonic prop critics, prevents the hair from falling out, as it stimulates and nourishes the hair-glands. By its use, the hair grows thicker and stronger. In badness, 1t restores the capillary glands to their normal vigor, and will create g new growth, except in extreme old age. It is the most eco nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used. as it requires fewer applications, and gives the hair a splendid, glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The constituents are pure, and care fully selected for excellent quality: and l consider it the BEST PREPA- RATION for its intended purposes.n
