resided for years Boston, and has there pract
ced in his profession with great success has opened an
establishment in our village for the reception of pa
tents, on the model Of the famous watecure establish
ment OF Pressntz, at Graefenberg, Germany. lie has
purchased and fitted up for that purpose the spacious
house formerly occupied by Mr. Ashbel Dickinson on
Elliot street. lie is aided in his enterprise by several
intelligent and wealthy gentlemen of Boston, some Of
whom have been patients Of Pressniz and having ex-
perenced the wonderful effects of this system of prnc
tce in their own persons anxious that it should be
introduced into our own country
DIR. Wesselhoefm has been for some years intending
to commence such establishment but has been de-
layed from the difficulty of finding place where he
could command abundance of cold and pure spring
water, united with other advantages essential TO the
success of the plan Last winter he was called TO this
place to visit one of citizens who had been for
while under his Boston, and here he found that
combination Of advantages for which he had been 40
long looking-a pleasant and heathRll location in
country town. easily accessible from different directions
where the patients have the benefit of pure atmos
phere and delightful scenery, and ever living and
abundant supply OF the purest spring water At present
the establishment is but in embryo He cannot now

reasonably anticipates, he will we understand, make
ample arrangements for large number Of patients and
visitors.
As is very natural, tire think DR.. Wesselhoefl has
acted Judciousy in selecting village for his enter

is that Brnteboro is easily accessible from both the

We see by letter in the N. Y. Tribune that Dr. Yves
selhoeit anticipates for the present difficulty in find
ing boarding places for all that may choose to come
II is true that averns although very good and am
ply sufficient for the accommodation of the travelling
public not sufficiently large accommodate many
permanent boaders and that public boarding houses are
almost unknown amongst u.s. yet there are many respec-
table families who do and will continue to take board
ers, and we trust will be kept away from here
because they cannot get boarding places That an ex-
tensive, weconducted public boarding house in our
village is great want, is felt by ALL That it would be
we'll sustained, there cannot be doubt The truth is
there is no building suitable for the purpose that can be
obtained. viii some of our public spirited, veal
thy landed propretors take hold of this enterprise and
erect house fitted for the purpose. 1t would be pro-
ftable in ITSELF and would have tendency to attract
here many Of those who periodically seek Temporary
residence in the country Keene and Windsor, with
their spacious public houses have now greatly the adj
vantage Of us in this respect.
