BATHS of HOMBURG, mmuNIUOM'-
ON-THE-MAIXE.

•
. The Mineral Waters of Homburg take their rise at the foot of the
Taunus mountains, two hundred yards above the level of the sea.
To the original springs, the reputation of which is so perfectly estal,.
fished in Germany, that there have lately been joined fresh sources.
which from the intensity of their mineralisation and the energy oftheir
action in certain morbid cases, have elevated them to the first rant
among the mineral waters of Germany.
The springs of Homburg are dye in number. They have bees
analysed by the celebrated Professor Liebig. Notwithstanding the
differences which exist between them, they may be considered as the
sctie medicament diversely modified. Their mineral principles re.
main the same, with no other difference than their quantities alt proportions. This affords to the physicians the highly valuable &J.. 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 noun.. tains, the diversion of mind by the moving scene, and the abstrac.
tion from the cares of the world, concur in assisting the action of the
medicinal beverage.
The waters of Homburg are stimnlant, tonic, alterative, and
aperient. They are suited to all cases requiring an amelioration or the disordered state of the stomach and other intestines, by giving a peculiar stimulus to these organs when necessary to excite the abdos
urinal 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-. chendria, jaundice, the hemorrhoids, and obstinate constipation. Inn
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 llombnrgh has greatly
improved. A new town has grown up by the side of the old, and new hotels and private hJuses afford to visitors all the comforts re.
quired by invalids, arid luxuries to be found in the most favourite
watering places.

The forests, which surround Homburg like a rich zone, are piercel
with rides and drives by which the residents at the Baths may, wills

for the games of Trento et Quarante, and for Roulette tables ; a
Cabinet fer reading, in which are most of the German, French,

The excellent orchestra from the Theatre of Mentz performs three

grand Ball-room.
Concerts, Balls, and Fetes of every description succeed each other
without interruption.
The Directors shrink ftom no sacrifice to render this watering--
place as delightful 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 Grandeea
Chasses at the close of the winter season. The Casino of Hombtr.
is the only establishment of the kind that has enjoyed hitherto the
privilege of remaining open all the year, and the eoutirmation of i's
tables for play, its balls, its concerts, and its hunting parties through—
