AN ACCOUNT OF The Duke's Bagnio, AND OF The Duke's Mineral Bath: AND THE NEW SPA OF MINERAL DRINKING WATERS.  
NEar the West-end of Long-Acre, on the Lefthand going to St. Martins-lane, adjoining to the High White House that's remarkable by reason of the Dutch Bricks that appear in its Front, where these Words are written over the Door, in large Golden Letters, WITHIN THIS PLACE IS THE DVKE'S BAGNIO AND BATH; is lately erected that Noble Structure the DVKE'S BAGNIO: And on the other Side of the Court-yard, there's a convenient Building, in which the DVKE'S MINERAL BATH is made; near which, in the same Yard, is fixed a Conduit or Fountain, bearing the Name of the NEW SPA:  
The BAGNIO is for Lustre and Beauty, according to the Assertion of all Travellers that have seen it, the finest in Europe, if not in the World. 'Tis of an Oval Figure, covered with a large Cupola, which is supported by eight Cylindrical Columns on Pillars. 'Tis paved with Black and White Marble, and its Walls are covered with White Gally-tyles. It has convenient Rooms for Degrees of Heat, Seats in the Walls, and a Marble Table in the middle. Belonging to it are all necessary Accommodations; viz. A large Dressing-room, with several Boxes, Scales and Weights, Cisterns for Washing in, Beds, Linen, and Servants of all sorts.  
The BATH is a large Cistern, holding about Twelve Tun of Water. 'Tis built with Taris and Paris Plaster, covered with White Gally-tyles: There are Steps down into it, and Seats in the Wal, as in the Baths at . Over it hang two Iron Swings, for Weak and Timorous Persons to hold by, and to stretch the Body upon. The Water in it is impregnated with several Mineral Principles, which render it so strong, that some Gentlemen can float upon it without stirring. It hath a Current of fresh Water into it, and a Pipe to carry it off as fast as it comes in. 'Tis kept to a moderate Degree of Heat, such as will provoke moderate Sweat: 'Tis frequently emptied and cleansed; and any Person may have it fresh that pleaseth. Belonging to it are Rooms for Dressing and Undressing, with Beds, Gowns, Linen, Servants, etc. Six or Eight Persons may  in it at once.  
The NEW SPA is a Mineral Water, pure, pleasant, and wholesome, prepared by Art: For the convenience of retaining which, there is a large Stone Fountain or Conduit in the Yard, with an Iron Door; round about it are tall Pallisadoes, etc.  
The BAGNIO, BATH, and SPA being thus briefly described, 'twil be necessary to mention something of their Use and Virtues.  
The Use of BAGNIOS is so well known in several Parts of the World, that they are almost as much frequented as their Churches. 'Twould be tedious to relate, how many Distempers, and what Inconveniencies are thereby prevented, amongst the Inhabitants of those Countries; Experience daily shows it, and Reason evidently confirms it. 'Twould be impertinent here to Philosophise, and tell you how Perspiration and Friction being improved, exceedingly promote Health, and prevent Distempers: we only tell the Vulgar, It's certainly so; let their Experience disprove us, and we'll beg their Pardon for our Confidence. For, this we certainly declare, from what we know, both from the Dictates of Reason, and the Infallibility of daily Experience, That weltempered Bagnios (as this really is) are of extraordinary Use, not only in preventing several Maladies, and in preserving in the Body a good Constitution; but likewise in curing Colds, Rheumatisms, Pains, Surfeits gotten by immoderate Eating, Drinking, or Motion: They refresh the Body after a wearisome Journey; they render a Man brisk and vigorous; his Joints are made more nimble, his Limbs more supple: In fine, No one thing can tend more to the promoting of Health, than the frequent Use of Bagnios.  
No less likewise may the Use of MINERAL BATHS be commended. What pleasure do the Inhabitants of most Countries but Britain take in Bathing? For Pleasure Nothing can surpass it; for Health and Profit Bathing is not inconsiderable. How pleasant is it to float upon a Water where one cannot sink? to feel ones Skin and Pores penetrated by the wholesome Mineral Particles that glide about in, and fill the interspersed Cavities of those Waters? In the Blood there is hereby excited a more Noble Ferment; the Limbs are strengthened, and the Nerves fortified; the Skin whitened, and a more pleasant Air created in the Face, as hath been taken notice of in some Ladies; an hungry Appetite, and a good Digestion made. This Bath is of admirable Use in the Palsy, Numbness, Convulsions, Cramps: It gives speedy Ease in Pains of the Gout; 'tis useful in the Scurvy and Dropsy; its removes the Causes of Barrenness, and other Indispositions peculiar to Women: It's good for Gross and Corpulent Persons, to ease them of that Burden which they often complain of. 'tis a certain Remedy for the Rickets in Children. In fine, 'Twas the Opinion of an Eminent Fellow of the College, who about Forty Years ago was about making Public Baths in London, That if the Use of Baths was well known, and if convenient Baths were made for all Persons to  in that had Occasion, 'twould save above a thousand Lives in a Year in this City. This he asserts in his Appeal to the College of Physicians concerning Baths. I shall not mention how many Learned and Ingenious Authors have wrote concerning the Extraordinary Benefits of Bathing.  
The SPAW-WATER is a Diuretic-Water; it works with some Bodies by Stool, but for most part by Urine. It dilutes the Blood, dissolves those Salts that are fixed upon the Nerves: It is very successfully drank in the Scurvy, Yellow Jaundice, Stone and Strangury, Melancholy and Affects of the Spleen, great Surfeits, Heats, and Hectics, an ill Habit of Body, loss of Appetite, Preternatural Vomitings, Pains in the Head and Stomach, Thirst and Bitterness in the Mouth, Obstructions of all sorts, Sharpness of Urine, Difficulty of making Water, Ulcers in the Reins and Bladder, tumors of the Hemorrhoids, or the Piles, colics, Bloody Flux, Megrim, Giddiness, Bleedings, Affects of the Womb, etc. In fine, These Waters answer the Intentions of Tunbridge-Waters, but are far more refined and pure, being separated from all those gross and impure Parts which abound in other Waters. The ordinary Dose is Two Quarts, sometimes Three.  
Thus we have given a short Account of these Three Useful Contrivances, which are designed for Public Good, and have mentioned their Chief Virtues; all which, and some more, have already been experienced by their Use: A further Account, with Discourses on the Manner of their Working these Effects, are at large discovered in a small Treatise, written by Dr. Haworth, entitled, A Description of the Duke's Bagnio and Bath, etc. Sold by Samuel Smith at the Prince's Arms in St. Paul's Churchyard.  
The Price of the Bagnio is 5 s. 6 d. And the same Price for the Bath. The Waters are 6 d. the Quart.  
Tuesdays and Frydays are the Days of Reception for Women, the other Days for Men, both in the Bagnio and Bath. The Waters are delivered every Morning, to all sorts of People.
