TESTIMONIALS.

“Nothing is wanting in this Establishment calculated to test the value of the agent, in a manner which would meet the approbation of all.”—Lancet, June 1st, 1861.

“The ventilation in this Bath is admirable: the cleanliness most perfect; the attendants well instructed and practised manipulators; and the temperature of the hot room is not driven up to the absurd excess which has been too common at other baths.”—Med. Times, May 25th, 1861.

“Having taken several Baths at this Establishment, I can speak from my own observation, and state, that in every respect it is complete.”—J. Spencer Wells, F.R.C.S.
