before either of these terms, at £40 per annum, or for a longer term, subject to arrangement; (4) That the Council grant its patronage to Mr P. Doran's entertain ment in aid of Mrs Rees ; (5) That the Council be recommended to invite tenders in terms of local specimens supplied to Committee, also houso numbers—samples to be submitted.—The report was adopted. SyNAGOGUK Site Committee;.— This

Committee recommended the exchange of

allotments 1 and 2, Princess-street, for the Synagogue Hall site in Alton Road. Tho lease of tho remainder of the allotments, excepting Nos. 23, 7, and 8, and Nos. 1 and 2, Princes-street, was also recommended. = The Committee also advised that the Go vernment should be asked for a transfer of the property in Alton Road to the Council. —The report was adopted. vr. Philson's Claim.—This matter again came up for consideration in order that Mr E. Heskcth who was present might bo heard in support of the claim. The learned gentleman addressed the Council at some length, arguing not only that tho Doctor has a claim (which is admitted), but also indicating what seemed to him the ex tent of the claim. —After he had retired a short discussion took place, which even tuated in tho matter being referred to tho

Finance Committee, it being understood that Dr. Philson should receive a request to attend (he meeting.—Mr Graham's claim was also referred to the Finance Com-

inittee.

Carriage Supervision. — Councillor Thompson aaid that it was desirable there should be a more careful supervision of car riagts. At present the licensed drivers complained that at night, when it was known that the Inspector would not be about, numbers of unlicensed drivers came out and plied for hire, and that also horsey were then brought out which would not bo shown in daylight.—The Mayor promised to make inquiry into the matter.

Policb Court Buildings.—The Mayor haying reported the result of a confercucc which he had had with Mr Bnrstpw upon the subject of the Council's claim against the Government for rent, etc., of the Police Court buildings, it was resolved to charge rent at the rate of £200 per annum, and to forego the claim for interest on the £3,000 that wus to havo beeu paid the Improvo ment Commissioners.

Cab Committee. —The following report by this Committee was submitted :—" Your Committee have gono into the question of cab regulations and fares, as submitted to them, have held eight meetings, and examined witnesses from the citizens, the Constabulary, and the various classes of cab proprietors. The Committee having found that fares by distanco led to disputes and dissatisfaction, more especially from stran gers visiting tho city, have come to the conclusion that a much simpler, and more satisfactory system should be adopted, aud that ' time fares' would secure these neces sary conditions. The Committee were fur ther convinced that moderate fares should be fixed for short journeys, and to effect this>, that it is desirable to embrace the extensive suburbs of the city, and make a special charge for places beyond three niilca from the Fost Office up to the ten-mile radius allowed by Act. The Committee have also considered the question of allow* iag quarter-hour fares, aud while rccommeE< ding tho same they have fixed the amount to be paid for the first quarter-hour so high as to compensate for the loss of a place on the stand by the cabman. It will also be seem that return fare is allowed in all cases in a direct route to the stand. Another question which has been dealt with is the enforcing of cab-drivers standing on the city stands to accept of any hire which offer!". Your Committee consider that if such staeds arc provided tbat those cabs using them should be open for hire vitlioul the excuse of prior engagement, and to pre vent any hardships on this ground they recommend tho Council to provide a stand for engaged cabs, and thu.-t allow those desirous of securing short engage ments to fill up the time before the com mencement of a longer engagement, to have the opportunity of doing so. The Com mittee have further to refer the Council for details to the by-law which they have now the honour to recommend for adoption, and in conclusion, would suggest that various by-laws akin to this, and which are now iv force, should be embodied in the one now being enacted.—The by-law was also read. The report was adopted. City Koad.—lt was stated that the consent of the owners of property in this thoroughfare had been gained to tho pro posal for cutting it down, and that the work was now under weigh.

The Mayor's Holiday.—The Mayor announced that as he would bo absent at Australia for a short timo ho -would leave the Council to make the necessary arrange ments for the occupancy oi the chair during his abocQce. He only expected to miss two meetings.

Surveyor's Rrpokt.—A report was re ceived from tho Surveyor upon various matters.—His recommendation for the re pair of the Market-house was referred to the Works Committee. — Upon a further recommendation it was agreed to order a a 1000 feet of flagged kerbing, the coat of the work being assessed at about £170. No Pay.—Councillor Aickin moved, "That the motion allowing a half-day's pay to officials for attendance at evening meetings be rescinded."—Councillor Crow ther seconded the motion, and it was carried, the Mayor and Councillor Waddel being the only dissentients. Further Alterations.—Councillor Aickin moved, " That the motion of Council ippointing Thursday as tho ordinary day of ueeting for Council and Committees of the whole Council be rescinded, ,nd that Wednesday be appointed in future for such meetings.—Councillor Crowther seconded.—Councillor Waddell said that if no one eltio would record his opposition to contemptible chopping and changing of the time he would, he had also to protest in the strongest manner against the keeping of officers there so long after the regular hours. It waa quite unworthy of Councillors. — Councillor Hemus also opposed the chaDge trom Thursday evening to Wednesday even ing. It would be inconvenient for chapel going people like himself.—Councillor Offer could only see one solution of the difficulty, and that was to meet on Sunday.—When Councillor Waddel spoko of thii frequent changing as "contemptible" he quite agreed with him. They entered that Coun cil well-knowing that they had to sacrifice time for day-meetings, and he for one was prepared to give his services in the after noons. They had no right to change the time of meeting unless they made that rt stipulation in standing for election—Coun cillor Thompson said that ho would be ashamed to make use of the term "contemptible" in reference to any action of the Councillors.—The Mayor considered that the term had been applied to the Couucil collectively, and not merely to individual Councillors.—After some further discussion the motion was withdrawn.

Works Committee Meetings.—Coun cillor Aickin moved, "That the Public Works Committee in future meet on Thursday evening, and that the existing resolution on this subject be rescinded."— The motion was carried.—lt was also re solved thit the Town Clerk, the Surveyor, and the assistant clerk should attend the night meetings; and that the Treasurer should attend until the meeting of ihe sub finance committee was over.

Safeguaro against Compensation Claims.—Councillor Offer moved "That no work in future be uudertaken where any claim for compensation shall hare been mado, unless the owners sign a bond re lieving the Corporation of responsibility for compensation."—Carried. Water Surri/r.—The by-law passed some time since was confirmed.

Tha rough minutes were then read, and at ll.lSthe Council rose.

THE MUCH MARRIED MAN.

George Henry Shefperson, the man ■with three wives, having sufficiently re covered from the Eolf-inflicted injuries to Ins throat, was on Wednesday committed to take his ttial by tho Onehunga bench. Shepporson, it will be remembered, was bouud over in sureties to keep tho peace through Mra Featon, the woman lie was last married to, for threatening " to do tor her;" but, notwithstanding the bonds he had entered into, he went from Auckland to Onohunga and smashed in her house at night. Mra Featon fortunately escaped from the house in good time, and the mar), who waa quite sober, partially cut his throat with a raisor brought from Auckland for that purpose. Shepperson made a lengthy record in a pocket-book of tiis intention to commit suicide, wherein he expressed a hope that his body would receive honourable and Christian burial, and that the press should give publicity to the narrative in his own handwriting.

GRAHAMSTOWN, this day. LATEST MINING.

Mint-driving has now been fairly started on tho Comet reef, intersected in the cross cut early last week. Tho reef is fully three foot thick in thickness, and heavily im pregnated with promising mineral, and though no gold is visible at present, from the nature of tho stone, something sub stantial may bo obtained ore long.

Cuke.—The Queen of Beauty battery started to crush for this Company tho quartz broken out from tho drive and slopes on No 7 lodo. There are about 15 loads of stuir on bond, and the stane has a promising ap pearance. Njsw North Devon.—Ten head of stampers at the Herald battery have boen emdloyed in crushing for this company since Monday week, A cleoring up and retorting will take place to-day, the quautity of stuff treated being about seventy loads. Should tbo return average an ounce of gold to tho load it will fully realize the most sanguine expectations.

THE OHINEMURI DISCOVERY.

The Ohimemuri correspondent of the "Advertiser" writes : We have had a flying visit trom tho County Surveyor (Mr Aitkca) and Councillors Porter, Deeblo, and Greenville. All these gentlemen went through to the new goldfie'.d on Tuesday, and it was expected that there would havo been news of the late find, but they are all very reticent. It was reported hero, by the people who profess to know everything, that one of the up river steamers had brought an ample supply of specimens from Shortland iv the early part of tho week, but so far there is [nothing to warrant this vain as sumption. A strong effort is being made to form a paity to go out and find tho pros pectus. People begin to think that if there bo a find, it is high tirao it was found. Tho native diillculty is a pence of bosh. The Government has a lease over tho land. It is within the province of Auckland which is the eoldtiold, and all tho rest is fudge.

[PER UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

WELLINGTON, this day.

Nothing is settled ro Sir Julius Vogcl's successor. Sir E. W. Stafford and Mr Koader Wood are mentioned, also Col. Whitmorc. The last ia certainly wrong.

NATIVJS FENCEKS.

Tho native fencers went through the cus tomary entertainment this morning, march to the number of fifty, up to within about 200 yards of the Constabulary camp, carry ing green boughs, nnd then suddenly halting and scurrying away. Whenever they can do so unseen (generally at night), they re-erect a parapara fence, which the Con stabulary pull down iv duo course next morning. If the feucers are caught red-handed in this proceeding they will bo arrested, but hitherto they have managed to elude detection. Some wheelbarrows which had beeu used by the Constabulary in road making, and loft by the roadside, were found this morning sunk in a neigh bouring stream, but this is not regarded as a new inspiration of Te Whiti, so no new importance is attached to tho tact.

THE AKMED CONSTABULARY.

By the Hinemoa ■which arrived hero twenty-three coustables and two sergeants were passengers from the Wuikato. Little or no recruiting has been carried on in Wellington for a considerable time past, and tho detachment from Waikato is in tended to strengthen the force at the depot. Notice has been issued by the Governor that as spring advances tho number of men employed on Public Works by the Govern ment will be considerably reduced. Em ployers of labour requiring the services of any of the men are requested to communi cate with tho Immigration agents in the various districts, or with the Public Works officers in charge of works.

THE POLICE CHANGES.

Alluding to the announcement that the dismissed inspectors of police would be afforded the option of serving cither in a lower grade of office or in the ranks, the "New Zealand Times" says, "The intimation that the superior officers of tho police force are to be relegated to a lower rank, and the present subordinate officers dismissed to make room for them, has canned some consternation in the force, and a good deal of animadversion outside, the current opinion being that the efficiency of the service will bo imperilled by getting rid of officers really practically acquainted with, their duty to make room for certain curled darlings who were originally foisted ou the department, aud never seen much more than highly ornamented appendagea." In reply to this, tho " Post" says : The absurdity of our contemporary's appre hensioa as to curled darlings being favoured is manifest in view of tho fact that we ex pressly stated some days ago that seniority would be the sole consideration in deciding a* to the dismissal or retention of members of the force. This rule is now to be applied to the whole number of the police as one body, instead of them being divided into classes of officers and privates. The result is that only the junior privates will have to go, and the seniors will take a retrograde step, the senior officers remaining in com mand, and tho junior officers either des cending in grade or falling into tho ranks, as occasion may require. It has been no secret that this was decided on, and our con temporary's misrepresentation of the facts is therefore quite gratuitous.

CHRISTCHURCH, this day.

The greyhound Gill Gill, imported from Australia, where he wa3 a great winner, has been poisoned at Yaldhurst. The new Oddfellows Hall in Lichfield strect was opened yesterday. 200 were at the supper.

DUNEDIN, this day.

The case of Aman and Hood, libcratid on bail under a writ of Habeas Corpus, pending determination as to tho legality of their arrest is to be argued to-morrow.

INVKKCAUGILL, this day. THE RAILWAY TIME-TABLE.

At a meeting of. the Borough Council, strong dissatisfaction was expressed at the reply of the Government to a memorial ask ing them to revert to the August railway time-table. It was resolved that the Mayor write again on the subject, and in the event of not receiving au early reply, a deputa tion, consisting of the Mayor and Council lors J. T. Thompson and Kingsland, wait upon the Minister of Jfnblic Works at Dun ediu or Wellington, and ask a definite answer to the memorial, and that the Chamber of Commerce and County Council be asked to co-operate by sending their president and chairman, respectively, as members of the deputation.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The fortnightly meeting of the Board of Education was held this afternoon, there being present:—Meesrs J. M. Clark (Chairman) F. L. Prime, J. May, T. Peacock (Mayor), S. Luke, J. M. Darga villc, and W. P. Moat. Executive Committee—This Com mittee presented the following report :— " Committee have authorised removal of closets at the Beresford-street school to the upper corner of the ground adjoining the Park Committee recommend acceptance of Mr Mills' tender (£lB 10s) for addition to the teacher's dwelling at Waiwera."—The report was adopted. Building Fund.—Tho following state ments with regard to the position of this fund was read by the Secretary: Assets : Balance in bank (next 30th September), £1,247 Us sd; grant from Government, £14,000; special grant towards Hikutaia buildings, £200 ; sale of cottages at Raglan, £163 : total, £15,560 lls sd. Liabilities : liabilities under con tracts, £2,395 78 ; grants, &c, authorised, £528 16s; unpaid accounts (furniture, &c) £22G (say); buildings authorised by Board, but not yet begun, £6,474 10a: total, £9,624 13s; balance available, £5,935 18s sd. The Chairman, iv commenting upon the statement, said that instead of the amount granted the Boatd should have received between £35,000 and £38,000, and therefore £20,000 more would be required to place it in a fair po ition as compared with the otber provinces. Teachers' houses and school buildings- were required in very many districts. It was resolved, on the motion "of Mr Dargavillc, that in ac knowledging the Government's communi cation the Minister for Education should be again informed that in addition to the £14,000 already granted not less than £20,000 was required, and that he should be asked to keep the matter in view. Tub ELKCriON.-The Secretary an nounced the result of the voting for a mem ber to fill the seat vacated by Colonel Haultain to be as follows : F. J. Moss, 41 ; D. Goldie, 32 ; J. Tairburn, 17 ; B.

Turkish Baths. THE TURKISH BATH.—WHAT IT 13, ANU WHAT IT DOKS. By John Staindack Wilson, M.D., Physician in char-to Medical, Hygienic, and Turkish Bath Institute, Atlanta, Wa. So wide la tho scopo of modern thorapoutteu, so numerous aro tho "now remedies" con- Btantly brought to our attention, that it Is im possible fora Binglo individual to test thoir vir tues. This is especially true of suoh an agent oa too Turkish bath, which must, from its nature, remain to a considerable extent in tho' bands of specialists, but which, at tho sumo time, should bo kn jwn and understood by tho peoblo, so that they may enjoy Its benoflts and duly appreoiato its.advnntages|over manyothor remedies. Hence this artiole. Something resombliag our modern Turkish bath was knawn to iho Ctrcoks, Uonians. and othor nations of antiquity ; and the Turks now have baths which giro name to ours; but tho buths used by the ancionts and by the modern Turks differ from thoso in use in Great Britain, tho United atatog, and tho Continent of Kuro c, both in their nature and objects. The bath of these countries is a dry hot air bath, given in rooms of different and graded temperatures, and while of ton resorted to us as a luxury, is regarded less iv this particular than us a remedy. Tho Hcleutiflo remedial uso of tho modern im proved, hot-air, high and graded toniDeraturo Turkish bath eau be properly dated b*ck only abjiit twenty years ago, when it was Intro duced Into Great Britain by Mr David Urquhart. Sinco then its us» has rapidly oxtondod lv this country and in Kurope, and the verdict of tho most distinguished authorities la, that it is a therapeutic agent unonuiillod in safoty, In eillcaoy, in tho extent of It 3 applicability to tho treatment of dlsea3O, and in the correctness of its principles, as tested by modern scionee. vvhlloit is not a panacea, suoh as is Us phy siological action that It may be safely nald that it tin ] a widor range of application that any single remedy or combination ot remedies. I'IIUC'KBSKMOi.' THIS TUKKIBU IIATII. Kvory Turkish bath should havoat least four rooms; a cooling room; a tepid room, with a toiuperuluro of iroin UUdeg. to liOJog. Fahr.; a. hot room with a tomporuturo of from 15'Jdog. to 250deg.; and a wash or water room of a com fortable tomperatuio—say from OOdog. to 8(Mog. Thoso graded tomporaturoa vivo tho Turkish bath a groat advnutugo ovor any olhor kind of b:ith. In tho topidnrluui a gontlo and gonoial presplratioa ia uuiluited by tho warm dry air acttiiK on the skin, and through tho linuu, ail itoduo excitement und determination to the head bolng obviated by a hot-water foot bull, and by.tho application of a cold cloth to tho head. Tho circulation having tnuu been equalized, tho bather then passes into tho hoc room, raised to what might at ilrst sight bo regarded as v tcm peraturo intolerably ami duugorou«ly high. But all uuch iduas will bo dlapellod by romoiu-, boring that this room ia lilted, not with steam but with dry warm air, whioh can bo breathed at a temperature of ISOJcg. or 2oodcg., or evon higher, not only with impunity, but with puni tive bonoilt and dolight, whllo a steam bath at tomporaturo of HOdog. or 115deg, U intolerably oppressive and sultVicating. In this hot room ttio shampooing should be done, whilo tho body isbutbcdinpeispiration and everything ia all alloat. 'I hia is tho only way In which tho matters ouiboddcd in tho soven millions of pores oan bodlslodgod ; and at tho sumo time, it U thomjat prompt and oil'octual means of re moving impurltlei from tho blood and tho in ternal organs. the physiological and therapeutic aol'ion ok tub tuiucißu bath. Kvory ono will readily sco that tho groatest point of excellence of this bath Is tho imiuorslau of tho whole body, including the head, In dry warm air, thus aoting noc ouly on the two thousand square Inches ot ilie skin, but on also tho twenty thou.iun.i squaro inches of tho luuk '- This air being rurell ed by heat and lighter than ordinary air, pros4ure on the capillaries i» corres pondingly diminished, the blood rushes to tho surface, where its lluid portions, with all the im purities suspended in them, aro groeaily absorbed and dissipated by tho dry air. How dilloi-cut this from a steam buth 1 In tho latter, the air, being alcady loaded with moisture, cannot laka it from the bather ; and therefore to any considerable extent Is a phyacial impossibility. How different, too, tho uctlon on too lunga I The warm dry air of tho Turkish bach can bo broithod with positive delight to tho very bottom of the lunga, pcrmoat ingtneir deepest recesses, and uuliug on tho irritated or inllamed a.r passages very much like a warm f onion ta Jon on an external wound. On the contrary, tbo air passages aro spasmodiojJly closed against tho Ingres) cf tno vapor tf water, the batner Is well nigh auffc oated, and tho nood effects arising from tho in halation of wat m air &re lost. Thid mat dilll culty holds equally in tho box vapor bath, with thoncalout; whilo tho physicU obstacle to perspiration boture montlonod oxlats in "Ma bath, as in tho Hussion bath ia which tho ro jm U illied with stoam. The functions ot the skin and thoir importance to health aro coo well known to detain us with thoir consideration. Magondio, Jfouoault, and other phynioligists have proved that coating tho skins of pigs, do (a, and othor animals with any impervious substance resells in asphyxia, disease, and speedy death, Foucault has demonstrated that even partial coating of tho akiu causes a variety of disease;, and especially scrofula, paralysis, consumption, and all that formidable clasi of affections arising from ma'nutrition and tho retention ot poisonous matters in the system. Suoh effects are not at all surprising when wo call to mind tho fact teat tho skin is capablo of supplementing, to a great extent, tho depurating action of the lungs. Hirer, and other orguns. and that by Us usual and direct, aud al*o by its vicarious action, a greater quantity ot oifete ana ooluieriom matters maybe safo y removed from tno system loan through any other channel. This being admitted, it is not strungo that diaphoretics or sweating medicine* should bj regarded as tho most valuable of all remedies, and that do class of agents Is more frequently lesortsd to in practice. Yet jio claii- la uu» unroli»bl». and many or those, by their depressing eltecis iLii'io heavy draughts on tho vital powers. How desirable, theu.to ha voan agent that willcortainly speedily, aud pleasantly excilo perspiration to any do.'ired extent, not only without exhausta. lion or dcprosiiou, but with an increase of Birength and vigour. Such an agent is tbo Turkish bath. As a diaphoretic it may bo safely said, "it never falls." Tho light dry air of this huh heated to a tempreuture of 120* to 100', will sweat anything coverod with skin per meated with vessels iv which blood can circu late. But some may not bo so well assured ot tho invigorating action of this bath. It is a popular error mat poispiration is debilitating pro he, and that none except strong persons scould venture to take a l urkish bath. Perspir ation in a certain class of diseased ia only a symptom or result of weakness, and not a cause of it. The matters elminated from the system by perspiration aro composed almost exclusively of water und various suits and etl'ete substances, whion aro not only useless but oppressive and injurious when retained interfering with all ilio vital functions by poisoning and obstructing tho fountains of life. It is uncles* then to refer to examples of the most robust health among the shampooots in Turkish baths, the operatives in foundries, tho laborers iv Holds and workshops, who perspire from morning to night. It is well Known that tbero is no class bo healthy and robußt than the sweltering; tribe who livo in a high temperature and perspire most. I have had all classes, including tho feeblest women and i..fanls, to pass through the bath, and I have yet to sco the ilrst evidence of exhaustion or even depression from its action. It invariably imports strength, buoyancy and vigor, both to body and mind. The tonic and Invigorating effect of this bath is duo, as would readily bo inferred, to its depurating action, to its combi nation of alternative heat aid cold, lo its friction and shampooing, and in all probability, to its electrical effects, making a 1 together a combination which can bo had from no other bath. As a purifyer, both intornal and external, no thing will compare with it. Well does Dr. Thudicum say, that "you can remove as muoh of tho poisonous and effete matter from tho body in one hour in tho Turkish bath as can bo re moved by any other means in twenty-four hours." And he might have added thai tho removal of such matter?, combined with tho frictions and tho oold water whioh aro parta ot this bath, must givo a spring and vigor to the whole organism, mental and physical, whioh no thing elae can eivo. The truth is, the Turkish bath will cleanse the blood as thoroughly aa a epongd is cleansed by wringing it frequently out of p in) water; and the principle oi the cleansing is much the same. The water drank in tho bath dissolves the impurities, tho bath brngs the water to tbo surface, and it is discharged with its contents. How plain I How certain 1 2. It is hardly necessary to say that this bath equalizes the circulation and removes oongts tion. Could anything be more likely to do this than the huhly rarefied dry air of this bath, followed by the friction of shampooing and tno additional stimulus of tho cold buth. 3. The Turkish ,bath not only acts on the vascular, butalso on tbe nervous, system. Under tbe rousing effect of tho high heat, combined with friction, and followed by cola water, tho nervous ramifications of tho skin send revivify ing, heal thful currents to tho nervous centre B,and these, responding to the impression, return othor nerve currents to the surface; thus estab lishing that action and reao ion in the nervous system—tho great motive power ot the body— which is the very essence of health, strength, and vigor, and the source of thoso harmonious movements in all the functions, that delightful condition of mind and body, whioh this bath alone can bring about, such are what might bo called the indirect eifeots of the bath acting through tbe distal or peripheral nervous ramifi cations. Of course the d ireot effect on the brain and other nervous centers, from its equalizing, eliminating; and depurating action, mast be very great. i. Besides acting on the nervous system, puri fying tho skin and blood, equalizing tho circula tion, toning and invlgoraiiog the whole system. Homo of tho advocates of thjs bath claim that the high heat has a direct vitalizing and eleotrical action; and that this heat also baa the power to destroy the germs of disease. Aa to tho direct vitalizing and electrical notion, it is highly probable that such there ia; for the elec trical condition ot the tody and of the air must be modified by tho hoat, and this heat is cer tainly a powerf nl Btlmulant. As to its direct action |ln the destruction of disease-producing germs, we cannot be so cer tain. Indeed, this cannot be, unlera the air reaches the internal parts at tbo same tempera ture that it is externally, wuich cannot bo true. But, admitting that no germs aro destroyed by tho direct aotion r f the hoat, we know that tho bath hss tho nower to expel, waßh out, and eliminate from the systemaldisease-generating axents, unless it ia living organisms; bo that after all we accomplish by it the groit end of all treatment—'ho removal of the condition on which the diaoise depends. Having now givon tho general principles on whioh the Turkish, bath acts, let ua now apply tho?o principles to the treatment of speomo diseases. These prinoiples can bo so readily applied by all, that 1 need do little more than mention a few of tho diseases in which exper ience has demonstrated the great utility of tho bath From what has been B»id of ita equaliz ing action, it will bs at onco admitted that it is tho romedy parexcollencoin all inflammatory and congestive affxctions, and especially thoso of the mucous mombranes, on account of tbo c'.ose connection between these and tha skin. Hence its superiority over any other romedy in bronobitis. in common colds, in chronic nasal catarrh, in croup, whooping cough, and in all affections of tho respiratory mucous membrane. In thes? cases we have not only the derivative action of the bath, but also tha direct acton ol tin warm air on therarte affected—a combin ation that can be had from no other remedy. In other affections of mucous mombranes, such as conjunctivitis, leucorrhea, diarrhea, dysaDtry, csstitiß, otorrhea, and in short, in all inflamma tions of the mucous membranes, ths bath will accomplish more by its deriative and equalizing action than any general or external remedy. Jn cnaoNio nassl catarrh I believe it to be the only true curative, acting aait does by its revolutionizing effect on the wholo system, and by its direct effect on tho inflamed membrano; thus permanently removing tha inflammation and congestion, which nre gene-ally only torn porariljlolievedb} local applications. I feol fure that inflammatory croup would be disarmed ot its terrors if the sufferer could be put into a Turkish bath of a proper tempera-

The same Is true of A btiima. la one case, I j hare prevented an attack several times by its • use, ! In tulmonary CONSUMPTION reason a^d facts clearly demonstrate that no remedy is bo | Uaelr to arrest Us progress.

My experience though not very extensive in this disease has been sufficient to convinco me that, even in advanced and incur- I ablo cases, nothing is so successful In relieving tho distressing symptoms, and especially tho , dobll'ty. tho cough, and the night sweats. This | is also the experience of Dr. Learned, Physician to tho Informary of Diseasos of the Chest, Lon don. Ho has given a detailed statement of a number of rasi'u under his chargo successfully treatod by tho Turkish bath One pationt.killod | by accident, furnUhcd positive evidence of tho reconstruction of the diseased organs. In other ■ diseases of tho nutritive and di*O3tivo organs, I this bath is entitlod to moro confidence than ! any other remedy. Its efforts in dyspepsia wo truly wonderful, and from my own personal ob eorvution I can say that,with proper dieting and cxorcißo, it will euro most cases of functional derangement of tho stomach or bowels In a roraarkablo short tlmo. Tho strength, appotito, digestion, and assimilation are increased ulmost from the first bath. In sopofula and Its kindred diao»BO, oanoer It is plainly indicated as the moat promising remedy. Its power over scrofula in giving ! strength and vl«or, in improving digestion, in promoting elimination and nutrition, cannot bo doubted, I As to Its offects In cancer. Dr. Thudicum says It " will romovo conditions accompanying, ' favoring, or, porhaps, producing that awful. disease." Mr Urquhart gives a caso whero a removed and returning oancor, "In a desperately hopeless condition," was porfootly cured by this bath. Ho also tells us that cancer Is unknown in countries whero the bath Is gonorally used, and whore tho climuto is favorable to tho action of tho skin. Tho Turkish bath id a certain, safo, and spoody romody for oiikbity, reducing tho fat, which Is largely composed of wator, very rapidly. Thin, with a dry dlot, 13 all that is needed in this condition,which is tho anno of muoh dlacomrort, and often either directly or indirectly of doath. In ciiLOitoais tho Turkish bath Is plainly Indicated, on account of Its notion on tho norvous system, its tonto effects, and its potent inlluonoo over tho digostlvo, cirouUtory, and as 'initiative f aaetloas. This, with iron, nourish ing dlot, and oxerolso will bo all that is required in most of tbeso cases. In amkn oimiiKA, and DVHMKNouiuiKA, and most of tho disoaaoß of women, I can confidently recommond tho bath from my own observation of such cases. In all coses of blood poisoning, whothor from drugs or dlioasc, no remedy will coinpuro with tho Turkish bath. Of course, then, it must bo an excellent remedy in bypuii.ih, by elimi nating tho poison from tho isystoin, and romov iiiK tho oll'ccts without that injury to tho system which is too often inflicted by the use of druna. This dlscaao in its various stages, primary and sooondaiy, can certainly ho cured, us I havo proved in a number of cases. But whatever may ho thought by ollierj Of the comparative virtue of drugs and tho bath in syphilis, I am euro that too Turkish bath, with Its high' heat and dry air, will do moro to eliminate syphilitio or any other poison from tho system than the vapor and hot water baths of the far-famod Hot Springs of Arknnen!--. This will be lvuuily understood by all who can not fall to boo tho superiority of dry hot air over vapor or water as a moans of exciting perspira tion, and thus eliminating morbid mutters from the systom. In uiibumatism and nkijhat.uia tho ofllcaoy of tho Turkish bath la admitted by all, and istuo woll established to require any additional testi mony. It never fulls to givo relief in buoh casof, and its persaverlng uso will euro all curable onseß. In teat most obstinate disease rciatiCa, my succors wita tho bath has been very gratify ing. In MALARIAL POISONING and ia INTERMIT tsnt kbvers tho Turkish bath will certainly do moro than any drug to eliminate tho poison, dualizo tho circulation, arouse tho action of tho liver, and arrest tho paroxymnx, I can hardly conceivo of any oaso of "conokbtivk OiiiLLs" that would not yield to thin bath; and if anything would prevent tho inhabitants of malarial regions from *tlacks of tho poraicious fevers to which thoy they are exposed, it would bo the habitual vie of (Jin Turkish bath. This bath also Bpoedily removes all other poisons, BUch as whisky, tobacco, opium; mid all drugs from tho system, and to a great extent, blunts the craving for health-destroying stimu lants and narcotics. Hkadaciies, whloh aro genorally caused by rctentioa of some morbid matters in the system, or by oonjestlon of tho brain, aro almost in variably relieved by tho bath. The same thing will doubtlosa provo truo of tho moro formidable ckuehhal and other disorders arising from kidney diaca-.cn. Says Dr Yon Gelsen, speaking of Bkight's dis ease, "a judicious use of the bath (Turkish) robs this dreaded disease of half Its terrors. Tho danger of urioinio poisoning is placed ut the remotest possible limit, and the instances in which lilo has been comfortably, nay. enjoy ably prolongod, can be couuted by hundreds." Dr Hammond, of Now York, speaking of core bral congestion in general, is quoted as Baying that " tho Turkish baih cannot bj too highly recoinmondfd." OhOANIO DISEASE OF HIE HEART has been supposed to contraindtcatn tho uso of the bath, but t.ic observations of dlstlnxuuhcd physlcana have shown that such is not tho ooao. It appears that in moat cases the bath gives de cided relief, as wo mix lit infer from its .centri fugal action on th.j circulation, and its scdativo effect on the nervous eysutm. It certainly acts well in functional derangements of tho heart, ob I have witnessed in sevurul oases. As an anodyne. Badativa, iutd in»iij»p»«mo<tio In all founs ot NaRYOUS disease-. I regard the bath as fur suporlor to tho remedies bo ofton 10 ---eortcd to unsuccessfully. In one oaso ot mania A potu, It acted well, the patient losing sight of thu " blue devils " by thetima ho passed through tho bath, and going to sloep as soon as ho came out. For bl<ki> lkßSNEjs from other caases I hare found it to be an unfailing remedy. Few cast sof hysteria would bo likely to continue long under the uae ot this bath, and in chobea, cholera, and many other nervous disorders, it is certainly ono of our most promising remedies. It has proved to bo tho best treatmont for insanity. In the Cork Luoatlo Asylum tho cures wcro doubled and tho deaths diminished one-half under its use. It is reported that tho offensive odour of tho skin of the Insane is soon removed by this bath. The truih is, no personal odour can withstand a hath that thoroughly washes out a man internally and externally. I succeeded in removing tae intolerable smell in a case of fcetid perspiration of the feet with a single bath, after it had continued for yeara in spite of all other treatment. In many tornis of dropsy the Bath is cortainly our most hopeful remedy. In paralysis it is a most useful adjunct to other treatment. Most fevers and many other acute diseases could doubtless bo aborted by its early use Many other dlseved in which the Turkish Bath is indicated -will no doubt suggest thom bblvch to the minds of those who understand its physiological action, but I need not mention them, as my object is mainly to direct attontion to tho distinguishing features of the Bath, and the general rather than the special principles of its action. It would hardly bo proper to close this article without saying a few words as to the use of tbo Turkish Bath aa a luxury, and as a preventive of disease. As a luxury and as a hygi»nlo agent it cannot bo too highly appreciated; and it should he resorted to by all who can do so, and who would enjoy health and happlncsj. As a beautlfler of the complexion it is of special in terest tola dlos. It will Boon bring the rosee of health to the pallid check, and is the only truo cosmetic. For tho sodentary it will answer most of tho purposes ot exorcise; and in this roipcct is an invuluabis boon to the thousands whoso circum stances forbid their tiklnx hucli oxerciscs ai aro essential to health in the absenco'of tho only substitute—the Turkish bath. In that condition of 'mal alse.' oc general de pression, without gbvious causo, ono of theso baths will generally dissipate all unpleasant feelings, and often ward off impending disease Such is a mere outline Of what might bo said of this perfection of baths, which is dally grow ing in popular and professional favour wherovor known, and which has received tho indorse ment of such high medical authorities as Dr. Geo. T. Klliott, Dr.Qolden. Dr. Fisher, Dr. John Armstrong, Erasmus Wilson, Bpenoor Wells, Bonj. Brodlo, Drs. Bortor, Wood, Doromua, Kmmett, Mott, tho Drs. Flint, Drs. Agnow, Hammond, Sayre, Sims, and hundreds of others —well known co physicians and people.
