''The Able Sebastian kneipp" and His
Power of Healing A Patient De-
scribes the Method of the Priests Treat
ment-CoId Water Used Externally.
Few Americans have seen the little
village of Woerishofen, between Mem
mingen and Augsburg, in Bavaria, and
yet for the past four or five years this I
little burg has attracted as many visitors
as Bayreuth and Oberammergau. Woer-
ishofen is celebrated not for its mineral |
waters, not for its bracing air, but for
its marvellous cures performed by the
priest of the village, the Abbe Sebastian
Kneipp. Each year at least 10000 in
valids make pilgrimage to Woerishofen
and endure all Inconvenience in order
to be cured by the Able Kneipp.
The Able Kneipp is a celebrity in
Germany. He is called Il genius,
savant, "a benefactor of the human race.
Everything in the village is named for
the wise priest. For instance, there is
Kneipp coffee, Kneipp bread, Kneipp
linen, etc. Always at least dozen
physicians are present at the consulta-
tions of the priestly healer, and these,
after thoroughly understanding his sys-
tenn, will found Kneipp Anstalten at
Stuttgart, Munich. Wurtzbourg, etc.
This good abbe believes that water
will cure all the ills to which flesh is
heir. A friend who went from Paris to
consult the Able Kneipp has told me of
her experience at Woerishofen, and of
her great admiration for the abbe's wis
dom.
THE ABBE.
In the village there are only three or
, four primitive inns. but most of the in
valids lodge in private houses no less
primitive. The able has been compelled
to build q large house for the benefit of
the clergy, for priests also ask-to be cured
, by their confrere.
, The abbe receives at the presbytery,
and begins consultations at o'clock in
! the morning. The great physician sits
in a large room on the ground floor, sur
rounded by pupils. The ;,bbe is a fine
: looking man. His regular features and
! fresh complexion denote health, and his
, broad, high forehead, hardly touched by
a wrinkle is framed in white hair.
: His eyes are the bluest and brightest
, have ever seen, for his soul seems to be
concentrated in these eyes, and they pene-
:. trate you through and through-in fact
to make diagnosis, the abbe only looks
at n patient and in diagnosis he never
errs Some who went to the priest with
4 despair in their hearts left him buoyed
up by courage and with the assurance
that their diseases were not incurable.
