Iur dl& bath needs to become universally populsr, to be rega s an sbeolute condition of heelth and cleanliness, is that it should be understood. America owes it to Dr. Shepard, a bydropathic pbysi- cian in Brooklyn, whe in 1859 bad his attention directed 1o the astonisbing results which Dr. Urqubast was effee ing with the Tarkish Bath iz England. Urqubart's first publie use of the bath as & remedinl sgent was m:1~|-‘ at the establishment of Dr. Richard Baxter, near Cork, in Ireland, in 186, sttracted ab onco the attention of the medieal faculty of Great Britain. Urqubart had, by long residence in ‘Tnrkey, discovered ‘l'lo ue of ‘(';! b:'!:n:: its zeneral efiect upon the sple, observing s vast populatien -n‘:;hp habitually bathed, » certain closs of Europesn diseases was anknown. But the Turks ended there, It was not them further than o means of ng health, and the low stato of medical seience in their country ryv<-xx:‘-| it4 application to the direct cure of discase. Jrqubart first tested it in his own 0, 10 1 cholera, and cloima to have saved bis lifi , and on three subsequent occasions,frolely by its means. The study of tho subjoct ened 1n Dr. Shepard a desire to inmediately constroct th, but ho was without cap tal, snd what was more withont fricnds whohad faith in the gy formed only to give way to another, w with each delay, ~In 1862 he vi g’:!mmd abathon a small scale, scarcely bigger than & closet, with but two departments, yet even this imperiect sitempt was additional proof of the val In the same year Mr. Oscanyan, & Dative Tark, and we, knows, in the literaryfworkl s an author and lecturer, eu- deatored to establish 8 company to build a large Turkish Esth in New-York, but, though he bad the asgsistance of such men as Valentine Mott, Charies King, and T[\"odm W. Dwight, failed. It was not till 1863 that Dr. Shepard began the construction of the bath now conmected with his establishment, and in October of that year opencd it to the public. ‘This may fairly be consmdered the first Turkish Bath, worthy of the name, established in Aweniea. Tts roputstion repidly extended, and others were found to appreciate its useiulness. In 1 Mes:rs. Miller & Wood oper ed their well-known bath in Laight-st., New-Vork; andylast Spring Dr. Gutman, who bad previously eonducted & Russion vapor bath in Fourth-st., Turkish. Two years ago Dr. Seiley of Cleveland, Ohio, sdded the bath to his water-cure establishment. These are, we believe, the only Turkish Batis in this count for though several otber establishments bave claimed have it, on examination they were fouud to be the Rus- sian of steam bath. Thus we find that in » population of 30,600,%0 there are but five Turkish Baths, or one to every 6,000,000 a disproportion troly alarming to the Jovers of absolute cleanhness. That it will not always ex iat is shown by the growing popularity of tho bath. Dr. Shepard bas a-dded a large bath to his establishment in Junibia-st., and has profited in its copstruction by & visi be paid last year to Coustantinople. It will under the personas superintendence of Dr. Wi, G. Joves. Ouce be- fore the people firly, mnd properly eonducted, the Turkish Bath must become a national institution, aud every new addition is so much gained for cleanliness and health, The Turkish Bath is literaily no more than the ica- tion of heat, and to undervelue theimportance of heat is to shake our puny fists at the sun. The physical source of 1ife and motion must be also the great remedy of disease, for the antithesis Lolds good when wo consider that all discase is local death or the s [:mmu of a fanction. the Turkish Bath only can hoes! dod, and, nnlike all othier methods, it applies heat throug| medium in which man is intended 1o hive— ‘The Russian bathis vapor, the ordinay hydropathic bot bath is water, but we are not fitted to live in cither water or steam. The high- est temperature at which Lot water can be borne is 101 degrees; in & vapor bath it can scarecly be endured at 110 degrees, while in the hot-air bath a temperature of 130 de- grecs is pleasanily felt by the most delicato fraxie.

Of the manner in which it acts, we necd not epeak fully, but it requires but ordinary kuow! eige of physiology to understand its useful- ness. We know that in the skin of & pason of overage size there are about 7,000,000 of pores, and we kpow that health is impossible whero they act imperfectly, Through the skin the blood is pv ritied, and its functions aro identical with these of tie lungs.

Hence the effort to produce pe can compare with the effeet of the Turkish Baih, i speed, and power, In rheumatism, profuse peispiration frequently aceompauies the pain, wnd sometimos withont reducing ity and from this we bave heard the deduction that peispiration is useless in that acute form of the discase. But wiat is the perspiration but the unassisted effort of nature to relieve itself! And how much greater would be the pain without the partial success of the effort! At this point it is the truo method of ¢ 10 go 1o the a of nature, and, with proper absti; m the part of the pat , we believe that there is n will not yicld to the application of heat. This 18 enough 10 regard to the philosopby of the sub- though we have barely touched upon it. Of the Turkish Bath, itself, much more might bo said, for it can scarcely be said to be known. Both its pleasaut and un- has never felt that perfectly deliciows sensation which some people expect, nor any of the inconveniences whbioh nervous people fear. But even upon tuking the bath for the first time the beneficial influence is felt at once, and lhef}hynul pleasure it gives increases as one becowes used to it. It becomes one of the chief luxurics of life, and, unlike other luxuries, one of the great preservatives of health. The Tepidarinm is the first room entered after the batber has undressed. Its lum‘;emlnn is generu) 120 to 130 degrees, averaging 125. You at ouce fecl the change sensibly, and mark this—you feel it upon your face. The body and limbs mroel‘{ recognm the in- creased heat, and stronger proof could not given that by neglect of the skin and the clothing of it to excess, we deaden its sensibility. The skin of the face, which is always exposed to the air, and kept cleaner than the other r f the body, performs its functions. Thus when the lood is unheaithy it usually relieves itsel by pimples uj the face, the sk elsowhere being Ity inert, una- ble to do its work. After a fow momen darium the feeling of unusual Leet passes away. ® bather sits upon a chair, and places his feet in hat water, which at about 104 degrees seems at a wmuoh bigher tem- ture than the air at 130. The more freely the bather uks of water, the more profusely will Le sweat, and in & few minutes a gentle perspiration covers the whole body. The Calidarium, or Hoi-Room, is entered after the bather begins to perspire freely, and here he may re- cline at case in s pure Lot atmosphere averaging 140 de- nners aro satisfied with the Tepidarium, and never enter the warmer climate (the bath is but the ¢hange of ciimate), but the veteran bather is not content with what he calls the low heat of 120. In this country the standard is lower than in the Fast, and the highest temperature the writer has tested is 155 degrees. In this heat, which may appear intolerable to those who in the Summer swelter 1o an etmosphere of 90, he has fre- Presidents, a long list; Troasurer, Cyrus A, Todd, esq., ently remained balf an hour, with a positive sense of New-Milford; Correspouding Secrotary, Kalj E.(lnmlv ‘ 3_:,-.mzm—m res;iration, feelings of elasticity and esq., New-Milford.

The bather, who, like 1lg eels, is sccustomed to bLeing skiuned, finds this operation delizhtful, yet we do not have in this country the sham- P they use In Turkey. Urquhart thus describes that serTers process: 'he shampooer, or t-7ak, kneels at yonrside, and, bending over, g ips aud presses your chest, arms and lggx, passing from part to part, like a bird shift- ing ou its perch. He brings his whole weight on yon with s jerk, follows the line of muscle with an anatomical thumb, draws the open hand strongly over the surface, particularly round the shonlder, turging you haif up in 80 doing, stands with his feet on the thighs and on the chest, an -hg down the ribs then up again throe times, ard, lastly, doubling your arms, one aster the other, on the cheet, pushes with both hands down, Legin- ning at the elbow and then, patting an arm under the back and applying bis chest to your crossed elbows, rolson you across Ul you erack.
