BATHS of HOMBURG, near FRANKFORT-
ON-THE-MAINE.
The Mineral Waters of Homburg take their rise at the foot of the
Taunus mountains, two hundred yards above the level the sea.
To the original springs, the reputation of which is so perfectly estab-
lished in Germany, that there have lately been joined teesh sources,
which from the intensity of their mineralisation and the energy oftheir
action in certain morbid cases, have elevated them to the first rack
among the mineral waters of Germany.
The eprirge of Homburg are five In number. They have been
analysed by the celebrated Professor Liebig. Notwithstanding the
differences which exist between them, they may be considered as the
game medicament diversely modified. Their mineral principles re-
main the same, with no other difference than their quantities and
proportions. This affords to the physicians the highly valuable ad-
vantage of applying to each individual case the peculiar water best
adapted to it, and of modifying the treatment according to the course
and progress of the complaint.
The internal use of these waters is of constant efficacy, above all
when drunk at their source, for then the vivifying air of the moun-
tains, the diversi..n mind by the moving scene, and the abstrac-
tion from the can s of the world, concur in assisting the action of the
medicinal beverage.
The waters of Homburg are stimulant, tonic, alterative. and
Aperient. They are suited to all cases requiring an amelioration of
the disordered state of the stomach and other intestines, by giving a
peculiar stimulus to these organs when necessary to excite the abdo-
minal circulation, to assist the secretory processes, and to regularise
nutrition and assimilation. Their great success has been recognised
in enlargements of the liver, in affections of the spleen, in hypo-
chondria, jaundice, the hemorrhoids, and obstinate constipation. In
gout and all affections produced by derangement of the digestive
functions, most happy results are derived from them.
During the four years which have elapsed since these springs first
obtained their merited celebrity, the city of Homburgh has greatly
improved. A new towh has grown up by the side of the old, and
new hotels and private houses afford to visitors all the comforts re-
quired by invalids, and luxuries to be found in the most favourite
watering places.
The forests, which surround Homburg like a rich zone, are pierced
'frith rides and drives by which the residents at the Baths may, with
ease and pleasure, visit the Feldberg, the Rock ofElizabeth, Luther's
Oaks, and all the picturesque sites of the Taunus.
The Directors of this grand Establishment have constructed a mag-
niteent Casino, which—by the beauty of its architecture, the excel-
lence of its distribution, and the richness of its decorations—surpasses
any building hitherto erected at any point on the basks of the
Rhine. It contains splendid saloons for balls and concerts ; rooms
for the games of Trento et Quarante, and for Roulette tables ; a
Cabinet for reading, in which are most of the German, French,
English, Russian, Belgian, and Dutch journals; a Caffee-room ; a
Divan for smoking, openingon to a fine terrace laid with asphalte, and
A grand dining-room with a table-d'hate, served a la Francaise, twice
a-day, viz. at one and five o'clock.
The excellent orchestra from the Theatre of Mentz performs three
times a day ; in the morning, at the Springs ; in the afternoon, in
the beautiful Gardens of the Casino ; and in the evening in the
grand Ball-room.
Concerts, Halls, and Fetes of every description succeed each other
igqthout interruption.
The Directors shrink from no sacrifice to render this watering-
place SO delightfhl as possible to its visitors, and to this end have
rented about 50,000 acres of forest-lands and plains, all abounding in
game of every description, as well a reserve Park for the Grandees
Chasses at the close of the winter season. The Casino of Homburg,
Is the only establishment of the kind that has enjoyed hitherto the
privilege of remaining *pen all the year, and the eontinnation of Ps
tables for play, its balls, its concerts, and its hunting parties through-
out the winter-season, makes it attract a numerous and select so-
ciety from every quarter of Europe.
The Journey from London to Homburg, passing through Cologne.
3fentz and Frankfort, is performed in 44 hours. The distance from
Frankfort to Homburg is got over in one hour and a half. Mai
coaches and omnibuses run between these plaees every hour.
