 thus important and beneficial, and of 

 such wide application, and lias for a 

 series of years been most success- 

 fully practised in many of the hospi- 

 tals and medical institutions of France 

 and Germany, particularly at Paris 

 and Vienna, it is extraordinary, that 

 the first fumigating and medicated 

 baths, and the first sulphur baths, 

 which have been prepared in the wes- 

 tern part of the metropolis, have been

We have received several papers 

 questioning the practicable character 

 and originality of Mr. PtRKiNs's 

 steam-engine, noticed i/i our last. It

 Mr. P. has adroitly availed himself of 

 a means of compressing the water into

 himself, and in due time produce a 

 valuable engine.
