In this City, on Jefferson
Street, Between Main
and Front

Through the public spirit aud enter
prise Of Mr.. E. Marshall Memphis has
at last a therme. or hot air bath house.
1t is located at Nos. IA and l6 Jefferson
street, and was erected at a cost Of five
thousand dollars. The Turkish bath is
an indispensable luxury in ell the civil
ized countries Of Europe, and there is
hardly a city in the United States, North
OF West, which does not possess them.
The baths erected by Mr.. Marshall are
fitted up in elegant style, in the most
improved manner, and have been in
spected and warmly indorsed by scien.
tifc physicians, who have had expert
ence in such matters not only at home
but abroad. The baths are in charge of
Mr. j. Chandler, q gentleman who prac.
ticed for many years in the hospitals
and ~dispensaries OF New Orleans, and
who has made the construction Of the
Turkish bath a study.
The most prominent physicians of Eu.
rope and America agree in recommend
ing Turkish baths for nearly all diseases;
diseases Of the brain and nervous sys
tenn; diseases OF the lungs, diseases Of
the heart, diseases of the liver aud kid
neys; diseases of the stomach; diseases
Of the bowels, and of the bladder, and
the eye, and the ear; also for rheuma-
tism, miasmatic diseases, scrolula, etc.
For diseases peculiar to the female sex,
these baths are highly recommended.
The Turkish bath restores the nervous
force, imparts strength to the different
organs, renders the joints elastic, and,
in fact, ~renovates the entire system.
AS a res.orer Of health and beauty the
Turkish bath is invaluable, and we will
be much surprised if the ladies of Mem.
phis do not follow the example Of their
sisters in other cities, and fall in love
with the Turkish bath aud become its
most liberal patrons. The ladies' apart.

week or ten days, not until Mr.. Marshall
can engage from the East experienced
female attendants to wait upon the ladies
while bathing. When the latter are taking
baths no gentlemen are permitted to

given when the baths will be open for
ladies'.
