tution. Miscellanea.-Sir Joshua Reynolds's Discourses (reprint) continued. "We noticed with great satisfaction the appearance of this Miscellany last month, and were induced, from the specimen thus afforded us, to augur fa vourably of the work. Our anticipations have been more than confirmed by the present Number; it has taken a flight considerably higher than it ever promised at the outset, and its contents will be found of great interest to every admirer of the Fine Arts. In its criticisms is displayed a bold and independent, yet candid spirit; and several of the more miscellaneous articles are replete with information and amusement. We would especially instance the one entitled Worthies of the Last Century.' The work requires only to be known to be liberally patronised."—Intelligence. "The Second Number of the Library of the Fine Arts' manifests a considerable degree of improvement in the novelty and variety of its topics, and an acquisition of spirit, which, if continued, will establish its character and render success certain."-Spectator. "This is the Second Number of a new and elegant periodical, which we venture to predict will prove a valuable acquisition to belles lettres. It professes to descant upon the prominent attributes of the Fine Arts, painting, sculpture, architecture, and engraving; and judging from the specimens which have been already put forth, there is evidently no lack of materials to sustain such a work, or of varied talent to ensure it first-rate patronage and permanent duration." -County Herald. "A periodical devoted exclusively to the Fine Arts has long been a desideratum; and we are therefore glad to see it supplied so ably as it appears to be in this Magazine. The article entitled the History and Progress of Lithography,' in the First Number, is the best on the subject we have ever met with." -Felix Farley's Bristol Journal.

When the Pail requires emptying, it must be drawn out in the front, and may then be removed, without ausing the least effluvia. Great care must be taken, in removing the Pail, to draw it clear away from the Washer; and th same care taken to push it well back when replaced; also not to fill the Cistern more than within Two Inches of the top; and not to omit putting some Water in the Groove inside the top of the Pail.

OF WARM AIR, VAPOUR, SULPHUR, CHLORINE, CAMPHOR, AND OTHER FUMIGATING, &c. AT MR. GREEN'S, MEMBER OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS, LONDON, 40, GREAT MARLBOROUGH-STREET, REGENT-STREET, Improved upon the plan of those directed by the French Institute. THREE BATHS FOR A GUINEA, A SINGLE BATH SEVEN SHILLINGS AND SIXPENCE. The left division of the plate represents a Patient about to take a Bath; the division on the right shows the manner in which these Baths are given. No water is used in these Baths except for vapour. The Medicines employed are such as the case may require, viz. sulphur, camphor, ammonia, mercury, &c., which being converted by heat into the gaseous form, surrounds the Patient's body, the face only being excluded; and, as the heat occasions absorption of medicine, these Baths are particularly useful in those cases where the coats of the stomach and bowels are too weak to receive the requisite remedies. The patient thus seated in a rarefied medium, an increased vigour is given to all the functions of the body; and the pores of the skin being open, nature is assisted in throwing off whatever may be wrong in the system, giving thereby much aid to the operations of medicine. Their efficacy may be inferred from a knowledge of the fact, that the milder forms of disease commonly give way to the use of these Baths alone. Many persons take them merely as a salutary process, as they produce the good effects of exercise, viz. increased circulation and perspiration, a desideratum to those who from age or other causes are prevented taking it. They are now taken and patronised by the leading Medical Men in London, being simple and safe in their operation, the most delicate of either sex and children use them, and they may be taken at any season, as persons from their use are less liable to take cold. They are particularly indicated for those diseases which do not readily give way to medical treatment, and there is no similar Establishment in the Kingdom. * See Transactions of the Royal Society, Vol. LXV. p. 111, 484, and 491. 2 The assistance these Baths give to Medical Treatment may be readily understood, as it is acknowledged that they tend I. To equalize the circulation of the blood, prevent its determination to the head, consequently remove giddiness and habitual coldness in the hands and feet. See Mr. Green's Pamphlet, p. 61. II. They promote sweat, re-establish insensible perspiration, consequently relieve inflammation; therefore are indicated for gouty and rheumatic pains and swellings of the joints, lumbago, sciatica, &c, See London Medical Repository, October 1823. III. They diminish nervous irritability, and have cured cases of tic douloureux. See Mr. G.'s Pamphlet, p. 53. IV. They are strongly recommended for all diseases of the skin, from pimples on the face to leprosy, and eminently clear the complexion, See London Medical and Physical Journal, December 1823—and October 1827-and London Medical Repository, April 1824. V. They remove the ill effects from the system arising from the too free use of mercury. See Cases in Mr. G.'s Pamphlet. VI. They strengthen the stomach, and give tone to the digestive organs, by increasing the secretion. See London Medical Repository, October 1823. VII. They do good in all glandular and other swellings and obstructions, by increasing the circulation, and quickening the activity of the absorbent vessels. See London Medical Repository, April 1824. VIII. They relieve all dropsical swellings. A common cold is always cured by See Mr. G.'s Pamphlet, p. 78. these baths. IX. Mr. GREEN has yet had no case of ague which has not been cured principally by these Baths. And all slight affections of the above diseases Mr. GREEN believes to be under the same control. See London Medical and Physical Journal, March 1827. Mr. GREEN is at home, for consultation, from Twelve till Five, or at any other hour, by appointment. He begs to add, that a feeling of duty which he owes to the public and bimself, induces him to insert this notioe, in order to guard the public from deception relative to Baths of this description which have of late been offered from other quarters. The Pamphlet above alluded to, on the use of these Baths, was dedicated to Sir Henry Halford, Bart., who has always patronised them, and continues to do so. It contains Abstracts from the Official Documents, ordering this mode of treating Diseases to be adopted in the French Hospitals, and which has rapidly been extended throughout the Continent; together with authenticated Cases and Observations, by JONATHAN GREEN, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London. A later one, just published, without the documents, but with much additional and valuable information, the result of nine years' practical experience, is sold at Messrs. Callow and Wilson's, Prince's-street, Soho; at Messrs. Underwoods', Fleet-street, Medical Booksellers; and at 40, Great Marlborough-street, Price 1s. 6d. |
