Note 15 — THE TURKISH BATH.1
Reading edition
We will not fatigue our readers by following Mr. Urquhart into his calculation regarding the probable cost of erecting a Turkish bath in this country, but we believe that an expenditure of about £800 would prove sufficient for the purpose; and dull indeed must we be in perceiving our own interests if we hesitate, for this trifling outlay, to secure to ourselves so great a blessing—at once a luxurious indulgence, a purifier of the blood, a preservative of health,15 and a remedy against disease.
