Attempted Introduction of a Water Supply to Portswood from the Southampton Local Board of Health: On Tuesday evening a meeting was held at the Crown and Sceptre Inn, Bevois-valley, Southampton, to take into consideration the propriety of making arrangement with the Southampton Local Board of Health for a supply of water to the district. Mr. Councillor G. Lungley occupied the chair; the attendance was very numerous. The chairman said he had been induced to call the meeting from representations that there was a defective water supply to the district. … (discussion) … Mr. Brown said there was no necessity at all for water at the bottom of the hill. As far as he was concerned everyone could have water from his pump free – (hear, hear). Mr. Pinsent was of the opinion that water should be obtained from some other source, and the only one was the Southampton local Boards of health, but then they would be brought under that body. The water on his own premises, medical gentlemen had informed him, was impregnated with poisonous gases. He, therefore, used rainwater. The late case of death from typhus fever was occasioned by bad water and defective drainage. He proposed that a committee should be formed to consider the best means for obtaining a good supply of Water. Mr. Kennell seconded the resolution. …

The Indian Vegetable Fibrous Flesh Rubber: We have been requested by Mr. Pincent, of the Peninsular and Oriental Company’s service, to examine and test the merits of a novel article of commerce just introduced by him for the use of bathers in hot or cold, sea or freshwater. It is in appearance not unlike a piece of curled hair cloth of a light brown colour, and of the consistency of Markham’s horsehair gloves. It is the membranous inner coating of a species of Gourd, produced in certain districts of Eastern Asia, and in those countries where the use of the bath is so universal, the luxurious natives and all English and European residents highly value it. Its excellence as a flesh-rubber is in its being so pliant and flexible after immersion that the most rapid friction will not hurt or injure the most delicate skin, and its use while in the bath, or out of it before dressing, thoroughly cleanses and imparts to the body a healthful glow and reaction which secures the full benefit of the bath. Having, ourselves, repeatedly used it, we can fully attest its excellence. Besides the testimonies in its favour from other physicians in India and this country, Mr. Pincent possesses those of Doctors William and Joseph Bullar, of Southampton, who report it as the most efficient flesh- brush for cleansing and stimulating the skin.
