CARLSBAD WATER AND sPRUDEL SALT.


is certainly we'll worthy of careful study. Although
the subject is so old that 4. may be doubei whether s,s
b anything new say about IT. nevertheless my ~.
pefence with this remedial agent has been such thst
may truly say that remedy which have employed
has much pleasure and this bsrticuiAs
selecting number chronic hypochoharses xhcst
truly sstonished 10 note that although riga dst
VAS pfesefbed aad only limited Of exercise
Was INDUCED In. obtained most remarkable resutsths
complexion after weeks began cless ups
the step became more rrm and elastic. and what wss
more. complaints seemed
10 vanish like mist These surprising results babe ms
pause and then sst about investigating the subject moro
elosey-sfFdns that It certainly could be the water
alone that produced these effects The diet and exercise
having been left entirely Of consideration 10 several Of
tho cases. proceeded the Cryspluzed Carlsbad
sprude sar which being obtained by svaporating ths
waters / thought surely be tvs remedial agent
But alas when I came to use this By dsseivinx IL Ia
ordinary water in csrbonic acid water. Invariably
failed to get promp. scnon and in the majority Of
utterly failed get peculiar therapeutic eject
which had obtained from the imported mineral waters
themselves There something at fault with elthes
my argument the Carlsbad sDrudel sslz On looking
up the subject found that Carlsbad the salt was only
recommended and used as addition to the mineral
waters to act purssve when the sed In that
respect The analysis Of the salt found did not tally
With that 81 the mnefsl waters for time a. least
fell back on the OF the imported Carlsbad waters
Until my attention vas called TO experiments msds by Dr..
Jawotsk OF KRAKOW With Carlsbad spruie sat Powder
then determined give this trial The chemical
analysis Of the Powder sprude sa certainly more nearly
correspondent to that OF the mineral waters The Irss
ease upon which tried 1t unique that was literally
dumfounded at the result woman who five years
before had weighed seventyve pounds had in that
time increased in weight 100 poundsa gain Of lis
pounds She came to me for treatment laboring under
all the symptoms that naturally be expected from
such On enormous increase In weight put her nrst
upon the Crysazed sprudel saz only be dsappoined
when after several weeks, l used the Sprudel Ssls
Powder wss really startled to the effect In eight
days.. e., from wednesday the next Thursdsy-shs
lost sixteen pounds of two pounds per DAY.
and was consequence losing all the symptoms che had -
much complained Of The woman had in tn. meantins
several glasses of daily and being marketwoman.
she had been debarred from taxing any extra exercise.
iris then verified my theory that II there any thera
peuc action in Carlsbad mineral waters. It ought to
have the same eject without usual adunets Of .
Carlsbad cure namely diet and exercise. In the very
next case. mild one Of diabetes meltus the sugar dis
appeared entirely after the patient only abanns
fresh fruits and that because 1t caused too great
looseness Of his passages will not tire you with
recital Of any more cases; have arranged these in
tabular form attached to this paper Sufficient, think
hts already been said to calling your senton TO
remedial agent sha, IN one form
and used BY the profession the last four
As to the mode Of administrations The dose Of the i'm
ported mineral waters may he set down as two or three
glasses Of about eaeh drank slowly in morning
an before breakfast another glass during morning
or afternoon and one before retiring night Tbs
dose OF the Carlsbad sprudel Salz Powder about
teaspoonfu dissolved gassfu hrea
times day. either one hour tetoe or two hours meals
It Is generally recommended continue the treatment
for at least three four weeks
The water has very pleasant taste. and is best taken
cold only when less pursstlve action Is desired. in
case Of diarrhea, 1t should be taken warm
A. to diet experiments Of DR. f. hswscek and others
as we'll as my own prove tina. any diet otherwise NOT
contra indicated b. she disease be INDUCED in during
the continuance OF the treatment
The effect Of exercise although not found essential
factor which think ought lost sight o. especially
where the disease is caused BY sedentsry habits.
As to the difference the erystsized ana csrls-
bad sprudel sslr Powder would that both obs
tanned evaporans the Carlsbad mineral waters bua
the powder Is while still moist exposed 20 the earbonie
acid sbundany given OF By the springs and In
ouence differs from the crystalized in containing
earbonses and sulphates In It contains all II
the soluble constituents Of the waters and
nearly represents the Carlsbad mineral waters Themselves
In addition to this the Crystal,ed Carlsbad sprudet
sar being Microscopic frequently inconvenience
on this account The sprudel sst Powder. the
contrary occurs In ane granular powder and is proof
against all atmospheric changes.
In conclusion would say that the Carlsbad mineral

natural product is Of course preferred where
