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 of the sea.
To the original springs, the reputation of which is so perfectly estab-
lished in Germany, that there have lately been joined fresh sources,
which from the intensity &their mineralisation and the energy of their
action in certain morbid cases, have elevated them to the first rank
among the mineral waters of Germany.
The sprirgs of Homburg are five in number. They have been
analysed by the celebrated Professor Liebig. Notwithstanding the
thfferences which exist between them, they may be considered as the
same medicament diversely modified. Their mineral principles re-
main the same, with no other difference than their quantities and
proportkais. This affords to the physicians the highly valuable ad-
vantage of applying to each individual ease the peculiar water best
adapted to it, and of modifying the treatment according to the course
and *grout of the complaint.
The internal use of these waters is of constant efficacy, above all
when drunk at their source, for then the viv:fying air of the moun-
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 Homburz are stimulant, tonic, alterative, and
aperient. They are stilted 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 retests, which surround gernburg like a rich zone,• are-pierced
with rids and,drives bY,which the residents at the Baths may, with
ease aturpleaSure; visit Me Feldtierg,'llie Rock of. Elizabeth Luther's
'Oaks, and all the picturesque sites of the Taunus.

The Directork shrink from: no sacrifice to render this watering-

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 open all the year, and the continuation of is
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,
Mentz and Frankfort, is performed in 44 hours. The distance from
Frankfort to Homburg is got over in one hour and a half. Mail
coaches and omnibuses run between these places every hour.

" HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE
ALBERT has of late taken great interest in the
breeding of the Llama, from which a very line wool is obtained. The
cloth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and
as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry
of a coat under the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of Regent-street,
Tailors to the Court, it may be marked that such was made of this
material. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED PALETOT,
and in its appearance there is nothing very singular beyond a very
gentlemanly neatness and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity.
Upon being submitted at Court, it met with high approbation."—
Morning Post, April 19. " Amongst the registration of designs,
according to the new Act, that of a coat is to be found. The notions
of securing the particular substance and cut of a coat is certainly a
new one, but it speaks well for the working of an Act which thus
secures the profits of a good judgment and well directed ingenuity to
those to whom alone it is due."—The Times, April 4. Registered
Paletot. two guineas.
