 Medical writers who have spoken of tb... waters, and particularly a writer in the M. dico Chirurgical Review, from whom We b,r, made the foregoing extract, aver, however

 That there are many complaints to wb;.p the Baths of PEPPERS mig ght prove inins ,,a ous. In pulmonary affections of all kipd. warm baths are more than doubtful--tbsa are generally prejudicial. The afHx 4 blood to the surface, while in the bath mas, be followed by more or less of afflux from the periphery 10 the centre of the bodv-- and then the weak organ will experieues more injury than benefit from the operation Besides this, there Is q certain deprep of reaction that follows and always aguTavales the symptoms of chronic inflammation. or organic disease of internal structures Chronic hepatitis may form an exception sometimes. The excitement of the ts0a bath on the skin generally increases tbs 1 secretion of bile, and in that way reIievess congested liver. But, even here, the bath should never be more than tepid.

 ] The same observations apply to all m ganic affections of the heart. The tide of the circulation in such cases, should never be aecelerated by either warm oI cold bath. ing--or by the exercise of climbing heights in such localities as the PREFERS.

 The writer above mentioned, James John. son, M.D., states that

 In determinations (as they are called bI the head--in chronic affections of the membranes, of the vessels, or of the sub. stance of the brain, hot or cold baths arc l decidedly contra-indicated, and for the req. sons already adduced.

 As people with acute diseases are negg sent to such places as these, it may seem unnecessary to alude to them here; bull cannot help taking this opportunity of eau. tioning against practice by no means un- common in this country--nameiy the ef, I pIoyment of warm, and even hot, baths ia acute rheumatism. l can safely declau that never yet saw any good effects from such procedure ;-but, on the contrary, ] that l have very generally observed an aug. mentation of the fever-or, what Is worse an increased tendency to tfanslation-nd 1 merely from joint to joint, but from the surface to some internal organ, especially the heart. ] have been long in the habit while investigating hypertrophy of the heart, succeeding acute rheumatism, to n. quire respecting the treatment of the orlgn. al disease; and I have found that, III mOf' than three-fourths of these cases, the hd bath had been employed to relieve the pans of the limbs. Acute rheumatism is spe. cific, and not conIfnon inflammation. ! is not to be cured by general and locaI bleeding, like other topical phlegnasia. = The blood, indeed, will be found highly la famed; but that does not authorize ven esection in this particular case, no moI' than the same phenomenon would in pres nancy. Acute rheumatism is very man ageahle disease, if baths and blood-lettlng are left alone, in general, and calome and opium given, with colchicum and saline aperients. Warm evaparating lotions to the parts inhamed are infinitely better than leeching and baths.

 doubt the utility of warm baths in acuts inflammation of internal structures geneI. ally-and in many of them, where they arc sometimes employed, ! anl confident ifsf are detrimental. It IS by no means lf' common to place a patient, laboring under acute hepatitis, in a warm bath after bleed ing. Ii is hazardous to employ this meas ure before the inflammation is checked, ans 1t is unnecessary qfter,ea,'ds. The same practice is often pursued, and always wIln risk, Tn pneumonia and carditis. NolmaS would induce me to order the, warm bata U , either of these complaints. fnhammatl0n' of the peritoneum of the urinary organs including, of course, the kidneys. are tnoss !, in which have observed most benefit ana least danger, from the warm bath.
