THE TRUTH ABOUT EMS
Ems is unquesuonaby pleasant place OF resi-
dence, with salubrious climate, and where 1t Is
impossible to commit excuses of any kind. A
famous physician, who was dying. said:-"I leave
behind me three infallible doctors-Water, Exer-
else and Diet.'
THE WAY TO DRINK WATER
1t Is quite useless for man OF woman to carry
care with them when they 60 to watering place
Over the famous baths OF AntoHine were written
these Words

Ut morborum vacuus abire Queas

Ease, tranquility and harmless amusement are
the best remedies we can take after toll and
trouble. l should doubt II any acute disorder was
ever much benefited by the German baths; but IL
is certain that much discomfort and sorrow may be
relieved by them. Though the Old idyllie life which
characterized them before the railway era has
disappeared, they still agreeable places in the

The only mental eXerton they should venture on
is the lazy reading O. the last new novel or little
pastoral poetry. They should not worry them.
selves by starting out OF bed before the day Is
aired but they should take everything coolly and
coax themselves with gentleness back into health.
Fussing and tuning and rushing about is sure to
send them away rs wan and haggard as they came.
THE DIET OF EMS.
Most Of the German physicians at watering
places, having to deal generally with people who
suffer from over indulgence, enforce very strict
regimen, and 1t Is nowhere more rigorous than at
Ems. Smoking in the morning at the baths is for
hidden by the police regulations. Butter, cheese,
pastry, uncooked fruit, pepper, spices, sauces and
late dinners are absolutely prohibited. The Ems
waters must be drank fasting; quarter Of an
! hours walk Ia enjolned between each OF
the three halfpints Of warm liquid which forms
the usual dose, and full hour must afterwards
elapse before mild breakfast OF light dry bread
and chocolate is permitted. Half pint Of small
wine daily and one glass OF Bavarian beer is the
extreme limit Of dissipation. The dinner at one
O'Clock, comprises vegetable soup, 5oied beef a
single entree, roast game. stewed prunes and a
pudding. There is no dessert, and not even q
straw berry ever appears at table.
CHURCHES AT EMS.
There Is an English church, a German Protes
tant church, a Catholic church ana synagogue al
Ems. 1t Is altogether an orthodox religious little
place. The native population Is Roman Catholic,
and sometimes one may near very eloquent ser
mon from bishop who Is taking the waters.
COST OF LIVING AT EMS.
Most OF the German baths have recently gained
an undesirable character for DEAFNESS, and Ems Is
no exception to the rule. II an economical per.

apartment in q house worth not more than a
rental of $500 year, he Is told that watering places

the place must make hay while the sun shines.
