I VAN HOE BATHS, • 



ASHBY-DE-LA-ZOUCH. 



ASHBY-DE-LA-ZOUCH possesses many advantages, both natural and acquired, 

 in the extreme salubrity of its climate, in its finely sheltered situation with an open 

 southern aspect, and in its position surrounded by a fertile district which abounds with excel- 

 lent fuel, and yields an overflow of the strongest medicinal springs. These originally, issued 

 at openings in the surface ; and, for ages before Ashby acquired celebrity as a Watering Place, 

 they were held in singular repute, and variously applied by multitudes of the sick and infirm, 

 desirous of profiting by their virtues. 



The Ivanhoe Baths were erected in the year 1826, and are not more admired for the beauty 

 of their structure, than for the convenience of their several arrangements. The building con- 

 sists of a centre and two wings. In the former is the spacious pump room, finished with rich 

 architectural decorations ana ornamented' with an elegant and lofty dome. In each of the 

 wings is a range of six Baths, with Douche, Vapour and Shower varieties ; and to every bath, 

 a distinct and comfortable dressing-room is attached. Those for Gentlemen, with a large one 

 for swimming, and a Billiard-room, are in the north wing; and, in the south, are those appro- 

 priated to the use of Ladies, with a suite of apartments for the accommodation of company. 

 The Baths are plentifully supplied with the Mineral Waters, which have their sources in an 

 adjacent mine, upwards of one thousand feet in depth. 



The Ashbv Medicinal Waters, naturally combine the Chlorides of Sodium, Magnesium and 

 Calcium, with the Bromides of Sodium 'and Magnesium, in extraordinary proportions ; and 

 they contain a far greater quantity of Bromine than any water in the kingdom used for similar 

 purposes. They derive their peculiar qualities from being highly charged with Chlorine and 

 Bromine : this last is a newly discovered alkaline substance, having very energetic properties. 

 These waters when judiciously employed according to rules, having reference to the Patient's 

 constitutional, habitual and disordered conditions, operate with remarkable efficacy in attain- 

 ing the salutary purposes for which the Chlorides and Bromides are medicinally prescribed. 



These Waters furnish an excellent natural medicine which is powerfully tonic and deob- 

 struent ; and hence, their 'use is clearly indicated in all the diseases which are characterised by 

 congestion or exhaustion, unaccompanied with fever or inflammation. As a Deobstritent, they 

 purify the blood and other fluids, and prevent or remove a tendency to swellings and dropsy. 

 As a Tonic, they support the powers of digestion, and stengthen the whole animal economy. 

 In numerous well authenticated instances, the cures effected by them have been rapid, com- 

 plete and permanent ; and, as auxiliaries to other remedies, they act with decided benefit in 

 alleviating or subduing the virulence of many inveterate maladies. In gout and rheumatism, 

 under their manifold complications; in disorders of the nervous functions, and the distressing 

 results of palsy ; in cutaneous and scorbutic affections ; in glandular enlargements and scrofu- 

 lous tumours, inducing a liability to wasting and decline in the young; in general debility and 

 indigestion ; and, in tender constitutions pre-disposing to consumption, whether administered 

 internally or externally, a regular course of these Waters Is generally attended with great ad- 

 vantage and success. They may be exhibited' also as an invigorating restorative to the system, 

 when depressed by an excess of corporeal or mental exertion. Immersion in them, if rightly 

 timed and regulated, and at the degree of temperature required by peculiar circumstances, in- 

 variably produces a re-action of the vital powers, most favourable to the conservation of 

 health and the prevention of disease.
