ANU STEAM BATHS.
DR. HOUEL, a French Physician, respectfully
informs the public, that he has established
9 TEAM and MEDICAL BATHS in Augusta.
The very high repute these Baths have acquired
. in Europe, where (although a late discovery)
they are to be found in every hospital, and the
great cures they have performed in Boston, Phi
ladalphia and Charleston, can leave no doubt o!
their efficacy. The must gentle as well as the
' most powerful medicines are administered by 1 hat
’■* means, without any pain, trouble or disgust to the
uatient.
'■ They are a never failing remedy in all cutane
mis affections; from Psora, Ringworms, Sic. ti;
Scaldhead and Leprosy. They also have nevei
failed of success in either acute or chronic rheu
‘ mutism.
In glandular obstructions, chlorosis, anasarcon
iwellings, incipient dropsy; in all diseases of the
joints, gouty affections, dispersion pf tumors, ill
cured syphilis, spasmodic or nervous affections;
~ in all bilious disorders, dyspepsia, hypocondriasis
|j epilepsy —these baths have been found must ser
viceable, and have often succeeded even in here
litury complaints. In fine, this manner of admin
istering abnosl every remedy belonging to thi
healing art, may be rendered applicable to almost
- i-very case, and (it is repealed) without any pain
'rouble, or disgust to the patient.
( As these baths are not yet generally known.
( Or. HuuKLwiii.be happy to give the most res
pectable references to persons who have beer
cured by taking them.

A THIS new and elegant estab
lislim Ml, wui b. open 1 it r cep
lion ol company as us..d, nex' sea
.un. The quality of the Water is be-
OuinniK u well known, in consequence ot the
great numbers of persons who used and received
benefit from the last season, that the subscriber
deems it scarcely nece ary to enter into a detail
of their properties and eflecls. He will, how.
’ ever, lor the information of those, who imy still
remain unacquainted with them, remark, that
mere are two springs—the waters ot one of
which, are strongly impregna.ed with sulphur
and magnesia—the other with iron. Ihe first
icts on some as a mild, on others, as an active ca
tiiartic, and aye strongly recommended in com
plaints of the fiver a ul kid iCvs, dispepsia, and in
ad diseases irising from a disordered stomach.
They at once remove indigurmn and the cause
by which it is produced, restore lost appetites pu
rity the blood, and exfiiharate the spirits. Inca
ses of debility and weakness, they h.ve been
touiul particularly efficacious. The waters ol die
oilier spring are strongly tunic, and Uiungnt very
proper to be used after drinking the sulphur wa
ter. To promote the effects f each, hot, cold
and shower baths are provided.
The buildings of this establishment, as men
tioned in a former advertisement, are all of brick,
and in an eminent degree unite neatness, conve
nience and coinlort. These points haye been par
ticuUrly attended to in those departments ml* nd
ed for the use of ladies or families. The adja
cent mountains abounding in game, gentlemen
fond of hunting, will haye an oppm tunny of m
[bilging in that pursujt. Those preferring more
inactive amusements, will fjnd newspapers, books,
chessmen, backgammon tables, Sic.
Amusements also for the ladies have not been
iverlooked : Music of the best kind will be prq
ide I for danping—and mien as ore fond of play
ing on the forte Riano, will find in the drawing
room an elegant one prnvnled for their nsel
Moderate exercise on horseback or in carnages,
being considered very proper whilst using the
waters, the subscriber takes tins occasion to re
mark that the part of the country in whiclf ht;<
springs are situated, are peculiarly adapted to
ibis kind of exercise—they are surrounded on
every side by lofty mountains, with a rich and
beautiful valley intervening between. This val-
I ley affords excellent road., ipid in riding out the
1 ptye air inhaled fresh t'roip (he mountains, acting
in connexion tyitf) the water., at unce gives as
surance of returning health, oven to the greatest
invalid.
Gentlemen from the South, wishing to dispense
with the use of carriages and horses, can come
d.rectly to the spot without incurring the ex
pense of either—they will proceed by watep
’ from Savannah, Char eston, or any other south
! ern port, to Norfolk, thence in he steanrf-boat so
Richmond, from whence there in twice a week, a
mail stage llrai now passes wiiinn two miles of
this place, and after the 15th ot .nine, will come
directly to the spot, passu g through the flourish
. ing totyn of Lynchburg. Alter arriving here
ants remaining as long as is agreeable, they can
then proceed to any of the adjacent springs they
may choose in a hack kept by the subscriber lor
, that purpose. The distance to the Sweet Springs
is thirty seven miles—to the White Sulphur, fifty.
fiv<—to the Sweet and Salt Sulphur, sixty—to
1 the Red Sulphur, seventy two—and to the Hot
’ and Warn) Springs between sixty and seventy
miles.
ft is recommended to gentlemen intending to
] visit any of the Virginia Watering Places, to
have Iheir letters addressed to the Botetourt
Springs. |t being (he first watering place they
will touch at in going, and the last in returning,
1 v.iey will experience great convenience in loilow'-
ing these directions —because on their arrival
‘ they may find letters from home, and during their
stay, will have an opportunity of hearing from
_ their friends every other day, 9s the mail from
the South arrives three Tunes a week, ll afier
remaining with the subscriber a. long a. is a
greeable, they should choose to proceed to any
of the niegl’.boring .ppings, he p mmises that their
letters shall lie carefully forwarded, whether so
i ever they may direct.
