    Having frequently recommended, and taken myself, Vapour Baths, at Mr. Mahomed’s, Ryder Street, I can with satisfaction, state that they are very good in arrangement and construction, and administered by him with great judgment and attention. I regard Mr. IIahomed therefore as, in all respects, deserving of patronage and success. JOHN BURNE, M.D., Eellow of the Royal College of Physicians, Physician to the Westminster Hospital, &c. 24, Lower Brook Street. This is to certify, that I have frequently sent Patients to Mr. Mahomed’s Baths, and I have always heard from them how well pleased they have been with his attention and general knowledge as to their anagement and application. JOHN NUSSEY, Apothecary to the Queen. 4, Cleveland Row, St. James’s. I have great pleasure in expressing my entire approval of the system which Mr. Mahomed pursues in his bathing Establishment. The Vapour Bath is a very great luxury, and, as a medical measure, is of immense and acknowledged utility in a great variety of affections. I have had many Vapour Baths in different Establishments: the manner in which Mr. Mahomed administers his, is in all respects very superior to any other 1 have had. ROBERT LISTON, Late Surgeon to the London University Hospital, &c., &c. 5, Clifford Street. Having frequently sent Patients to Mr. Mahomed’s Baths, and taken the Baths myself, I am enabled to give an opinion of the Baths themselves and of their management. On both points I cannot but express my entire satisfaction. The manipulation practised by Ur, Mahomed in the Vapour Bath is admirable, and conduces much to the efficiency of the Bath as a remedy in disease. I can also speak in equal praise of the ladies’ department, having had frequent oppor¬ tunities of testing jits management. ERASMUS WILSON, E.R.S. 17, Henrieta Street, Cavendish Square.
