Whilst fully admitting the great utility of the Mineral Water Baths in many cases, especially in the various phases of Rheumatism, I have no hesitation in affirming, after many years of practical experience, that the Hot Air, or Turkish Bath, properly taken, is incomparably superior in every sense of the word. As all diseases originate in IMPURE BLOOD, that Bath which most effectually cleanses the system, and thus removes the CAUSE of disease, must be THE BEST. This should be clear to the simplest mind. The Turkish Bath is in reality three or four ordinary baths in one! It comprises sweating in pure hot-air at different temperatures, medical rubbing or shampooing, soaping with flesh-glove, or brush, and washing down with hot, and tepid or cold water, the whole occupying from one to two hours. It can be comfortably done in one hour by persons in ordinary health. All persons in health would be greatly benefited by taking a bath once a week. Invalids should take one daily when possible, as this bath is very INVIGORATING, entirely differing from the Mineral Water in its effect. A Turkish Bath taken every day for a week will effect more good than four times the number of Water Baths! This is no exaggeration, but is supported by the highest authority. Medical Opinions Worth Reading. The Turkish Bath v. Mineral Water Baths. ERASMUS WILSON, FR.S:-" But miserable and wretched indeed is the Hot-Water Bath by the side of the Turkish Bath." Sir JOHN FIFE, M D. :-"It is vain to hope for the same remedial powers from the Hot-Water Bath, which can seldom be borne much above 100, which leaves behind it relaxation, debility, susceptibility to cold, and that moisture of the surface which is co-existent with coldness of the extremities." Dr. JOHN ARMSTRONG:-"The fatigue from a Hot-Water Bath is frequently fatal; the HOT-AIR BATH DOES NOT FATIGUE." STEELE & MARSH, Family and Dispensing Chemists, 6, Milsom Street, Bath. COUNTRY ORDERS PUNCTUALLY ATTENDED TO. The facilities offered by the Parcel Post enable Medicines, &c., to be forwarded by return of Post at a comparatively small cost. Pepto-Albumenoid Biscuits, Highly Nutritious, Invigorating, Sustaining and Digestive; A combination of all the nourishing properties of Fresh Meat (Peptonized), the nitrogenous and flesh-forming constituents of Extract of Malt, Pancreatized Hydrocarbons and Iron. The special advantage claimed for these Biscuits is their being a complete food in themselves, as they contain in a portable form all the elements necessary for the healthful nutrition of the Human Body. Their great nutritive value depends upon the fact, that the Concentrated Essence of Meat, Extract of Malt, Pancreatized Hydrocarbons, &c., are so prepared and digested, that when introduced into the stomach they become immediately assimilated. These ingredients are also combined with a small quantity of Iron in its most easily digested form. They are particularly recommended for the use of those who are convalescent from any form of exhaustive disease; for Delicate and Anæmic Children, and more especially for the Aged, as the process of digestion has been almost entirely completed in their preparation. Their value as a nutritive agent in Consumption, Bright's, and all the forms of exhaustive disease depends upon the facility with which the nutritive matters are assimilated by the system. To the Clergy, Professional Men generally. Sportsmen, Tourists, and all who from the nature of their occupation take their meals at irregular hours, their value as a sustaining and nutritive agent will be found invaluable. Invalids and aged people will find one taken in the night of great service. THREE OR FOUR BISCUITS MAY BE TAKEN DURING THE DAY.
