Lillie Langtry advertises the Pilgrim Street Turkish Baths,

Lillie Langtry

'I attribute my perfect health entirely to the Turkish Bath, which I take twice a-week regularly. I find it keeps  my skin in excellent condition, notwithstanding the pigments one is unfortunately obliged to use on the stage, and I think for all small ailments the Turkish Baths is the best Doctor to fly to.'
