Sir X, D. Sykes, mannufaciurcr o£ the I patent portable hygienic hot air batiut, had hia invention on view at Messrs B.

Thtyars also pravided with metallic air-heaters and steel plates, which heat and distribute the current cf air equally over the body. Any impute exhalations from the bather's «Hf.. are carried off by the perpetual change rf heated sod rarefied air, pasniog ai a continual bat imperceptible canto*/ Heat is secured by the me of spirit lamps, a very light temperate* beiqg secured, bat at the fame time it should te noted that no matter how loog the patient remains in the bath the pnlsa and circulation of the bl«od remain un- I changed. Tne bath is recommended as possessing all the advantages ot the Turkish Bath in your own house, and thai; . : too, at a very trifling cost, it being estimated that when heated with gas the expense does not exceed oca penny. When cot is use, the bath being panelled and Preach polished be comes a handsome piece -of furniture, asd is therefore net any encumbrance in a dwell- |j ing-hou»e. Its dimensions are— height, 3ft. ] 3in. ; length, 3it Oio. ; width, 2ft. lia. UrSykes has many testimonials of incase fnloees of his invention from medical men and private individuals, and especially recommends a trial of the bath by those afflicted with rheumatism and similar com plaints. The baths are equally wtU adopted for use on board ships or in hotels, and tie bo constructed as to be easily port able, being made in sections, "We owe: an apology to Mr Syfces for the nnacconntable 1 si of a large number of testimonials which bad teen deposited with us for the pur poses of pnbbcation.
