THE "RAIsIN CURE" AND THE Mrp
CURF."-M. Theirs has gone TO Ouchy, i'm
Switzerland, where he Will receive visit
from Prince Gortschakof as soon as the lat
ter has completed his .'raisin cure" i'm the
vicinity. The treatment OF general debility
by grapes Is by no means new here but il
VIII probably appear a novelty on your side
of the ocean. AT certain towns in Switzer-
land grapes are grown solely as medicine
and the vineyards are put TO no other use
Instead OF drink king water as at other places
the patient is sent out to eat grapes and
must pick them himself from the vines
Where the doctor ordinarily instructs the
patient TO drink so many glasses OF water, he
is here instructed TO eat just so many punches
OF grapes, and no more. 1t is assumed to be
dangerous 10 go beyond the doctors prescrip-
ton single grape. AS strange as il may ap-
pear, invalids experience the best of good eff
Iects from the "raisin cure, {" or at least think
hat they do, and 60 away very well satisfied.
Another popular treatment is found at the
nud baths OF Schwalbach and other places
where the patients are immers ed In soft
DIack mud up 10 their chin, and remain in
me oath for some hours. Most of them have
noating table before them upon which thy
keep COOKS, cigars, or refreshments accord
Ing 10 the tastes OF the patient. After remains
Ing TWO or three hours in the mud one ia
washed on with hose pipe and put into a
tepid bath, after which one is naturally SIM
posed 10 feel great deal better. III he does
not, the operation is continued the next
morning, and Is repea ted until the paIient rs

Teen larger during the past week than ever
