THFeItAINE--81.1MMIR SkABON, 1868.—The MINERAL
WATEIts of 11031Bl'ItO, as evidenced by the analysis of the
celebrated Professor Llebig, are stimulant tonic, idterative and
aperient. They are of admirable service in removing disorders
of the stomach and other intestines. They stimulate these
organs when the abdominal circulation is defective, assist the
process of secretion, and give a healthful regularity to the
orgasm of nutrition and assimilation. They are powerful
remedial agents in cases of e nt of the liver, In affection
of the spleen: in hypochondria, aundice, hemorrhoidal disease
and obstinate constipation. In cases of rout, and all other
affections produced by inefitclency of the digestive functions,
the most happy results have been obtained front them,
The efficacy of the waters Is more especially recognised by those
who drink them at their source; for then, the Invigorating air
of the mountains, the gaiety of the surrounding scene, and per-
fect abstraction from the cares of the world, concur in assisting
the action of the medicinal beverage. The magnificent Kur-
house, which, in the beauty of its architecture, the judicious
distribution of its apartments, and the richness of its decora-
tions, surpasses every other edifice of the Mad on the banks of
the Rhine, contains a variety of spacious and splendidly deco.

To complete the charms of Homburg, this delightful place, •
troop of Italian actors, of the highest talent, conducted by the
celebrated Mastro ORSINI, has been engaged to perform the
choicest pieces of the Italian repertory. The services of the
renowned Prime-Donne, Adelina Patti, Artot, Greed, &c., hate
likewise been secured for this season. An excellent orchestre,
numbering 10 distinguished musicians, performs three times a
• day: in the morning at the Wells, in the afternoon in the
' beautiful gardens of the Casino, and in the evening In the
grand Ball-room. The railway has almost brought Hombnrg
Baths to the outskirts of Franidort. There are 18 trains a day
to and fro, the last as late as 11 o'clock. As the journey occu-
! pies only half an hour, the amusements of Frankfort are within
reach. Visitors in Homburg may get to Brussels In 12 hours,
to Berlin in 15, to Paris in le, end to London in 24, so excellent
is the Intercommunication by rail.
