Carlsbad,

| The following is the regimen pre-
scribed to the majority of Carlsbad pa
ents. They begin the day by rising
not later than and go to the springs.
After having drank three glasses of
water at intervals of a quarter of an
tour, they walk for an hour and then
reakfast. This meal consists of two
mall rolls of rusks, a boiled egg, and
t cup of tea, coffee, or chocolate 1t
nay be noted IN passing that the Gus
ON is for each person to buy his rolls
" rusks at bakers shop and carry
hem to the place where the rest of the
breakfast is provided. The hour of
dinner is from l to 2 o'clock; as a
able d'hote is unknown in Carlsbad,
Zach person or party dimes apart in a
restaurant. Three courses constitute
he dinner, consisting of soup, roast
neat, and dish of vegeta bles, or, in
place of vegetables little stewed
ruit. A quarter of bottle of red
Austrian wine may be drunk at din
Ger, and this is mixed with Giesshubler,
sparkling and very pleasant table
water. At 5 O'Clock a cup of tea, of
coffee, of chocolate, OIL glass of water
permitted to those who require
something. Supper is taken at seven
o'clock, and this is confined to cold
meat, bread, and wine mixed with
water. Between breakfast and dinner
bath is taken every other day, and
LII spare time between meals is passed
n walking. After a well-spent day,
n which the patient has displayed the
Ielf-denial of an anchorite and has
covered as much ground as if he were
II training for walking match, he
.oes to bed between 8 and 10 o'clock,
here to rest his weary limbs and dream
# dining with Lucullus.
The course of treatment lasts from
hree to s X weeks. Patients undergo
ng the treatment are advised
keep their spirits, forget worldly
ares, and amuse themselves by con-
emplating the beauties of nature. If
any have been accustomed to smoke
obacco they are allowed to do so in
moderation, but subject to the condi-
ion that they never smoke at the
prlngs in the morning and that they
hways smoke good cigars. The last
'iece of advice is excellent, far better,
indeed, than the cigars which are com
nonly to be procured in Austria. Pa
tents are also advised to avoid exciting
to refrain from going to
ne theaters when tragedies are per-
ormed; to read light literature only
md newspapers in particular; to listen
% good music when they have the op-
'ortunity, and to abstain from every
hing which fat1gues or distresses
hem. So far as eating or drinking is
the hotel and restaurant
'roprietors do not heartily cooperate
With physicians in keeping patients
ut OF temptation. Everywhere noti-
es are displayed to the effect that the
ood or drink displayed IS ''kurgemass'
word for which there is no English
qulvalent, its meaning being that the
rticles IN question are suitable to be
aken during treatment. But, as
lany persons visit Carlsbad who do
OF drink the waters, provision has to
made for them also. To play the
art OF an anchorite where nothing but
'ots and water can be obtained is
'mparatively easy; but to deny ones
1t pleasant things when surrounded
7 them Is real exercise of self-de-
al. Now the visitor to Carlsbad who
told that he must eat and drink
ose things only which are ..kurge-
ass" and who has bill of fare to ,,
loose from containing tempting dish I
and wines, finds his lot hard one.
lould ne rigidly do his duty he can
rsonally recognize what Sancho :

IS forbidden to enjoy.-Cor. London
