Goethe returned for fourteen seasons:
Schiller spent his honeymoon there, ana
Beethoven pleased tho guests by playing
fantasia at a charity concert.
1t was only about a century ago that strong
protest began TO bee made against excessive
drinking in all watering places. IL was an
additional horror that the water could not be
d unk in the open air, as it now is, but was
taken in n warm room, where the effect must
have been decidedly like taking water In
Turkish bath. Bismarck and Sloltke sought
health there when oyerworked. Caprivi rests
there annually.
AT first the drinking was alternated with
bathing; seven days of one, then seven OF the
other; but the present system gradually came
into use That any such important
medical aid as is now found in the valuable
Sprudel salt could come from the springs the
first believers in Carlsbad were profoundly
ignorant. The townspeople were strongly
opposed TO the preparation and sale OF this
salt, which was first prepared in l76s. as they
feared 10 would do away with the necessity
for visitors coming 10 Carlsbad, and the alb
surd objection became SO strong that for
several years the manufacture ceased alto
gether. Finally an act was passed by the
government permitting the expectation OF the
salt and the people gradually gave up their
prejudice. finding that visitors were really at
tracted by the greater knowledge obtained OF
the spring through the widening sales of the
salt. So great was the demand for the
Sprudel Salt that in 1868 new salt works were
erected. The works were again enlarged in
1873 and are now undergoing further enlarge
ments.
The natural Carlsbad Sprudel salt, which is
obtained from the water of the Sprudel
spring, by evaporation. is an anti-acid. slightly
laxative, and diuretc remedy, and If taken
in doses OF n teaspoontul, is a gentle but
effective purgative. II is taken in ordinary
water. or as an addition to the Carlsbad
mineral waters, for the purpose of increasing
their effect. In cases Of persons suffering
from.poorness of blood (an9mic condition.
with constipation, very gratifying results are
obtained by the use OF the salt, given in
doses OF one-half teaspoonful or one tea
spoonful in four or six ounces of hot water
an hour before each meal. For chronic
catarrh of the stomach, liver complaint, bile,
and simple jaundice. one teaspoonful of the
salt dissolved In warm Carlsbad Sprudel
water or ordinary hot water before breakfast
will be found invaluable.
Its action increases the flow of saliva, and
IN the stomach 1t obeys, without doubt,
chemical laws and neutralizes any free acid
contained in that organ. Given on an empty
stomach 1t Is known to promote the acldity
of the gastric juice by favoring the outward
osmosis OF those constituents of the blood
from which the acid of the stomach is elabo-
rated. and to this is attributed the blood pu-
rifying action of this salt and the clearing
of the complexion after the use
OF il. The Carlsbad Sprudel
salt is very diffusable and passes into

banks of the stream and crowd against the
bills, five stories high. perhaps. where they
face the river, though but two or three in the
rear.
Perhaps there are twelve thousand inhabi-
tants in Carlsbad: boarding houses are every
where. as one viii readily believe when told
that seventy thousand guests visited the town
last year. 1t is thriving manufacturing
place, but the real source of its prosperity is
naturally its mineral springs. They lie in
nearly straight line presumably crack in
the lid. some one suggests--and while deep
boring through the calcareous crust upon
which the town is built has often penetrated
the vast underlying reservoir. no attempt has
ever succeeded in sounding this deep cavern,
from which the mineral waters find their
outlet under high pressure and sometimes
with amazing force.
The Sprudel. the most famous, most abund-
ant and hottest of the Carlsbad springs. after
keeping for centuries its methodical way
through the covered house men had set for
IL, took upon itself in recent years the liberty
of varying the monotony of its existence,

accustomed place and made for itself new

fifteenth century, when Charles Nv, Emperor
OF Austria and King of Bohemia, coming
home from tho wars, stumbled upon the
springs and was healed of wonnd he had

was not its first good turn TO man, as the
good people of Carlsbad are inclined to have
us believe. in their natural desire to connect

Charles time. and the Tepel-the "tepid"-

famous. If he was not its discoverer, and when

New wool has begun to come forward,

reduced, prices are slightly frmer, with
large purchases for speculation. A strik-
