The San Francisco call., 1897-01-24

FAN the general hospital at Vienna a re-
markable innovation has been made.
~ 1t has been decided that certain people
must live and actually die in tubs of
water.
Night and day, many of them up to
their chins in water which is kept at
blood heat, these patients pass strange
existence. 1t is not colorless life. this
aquatic one. Great efforts have been
made to make it bright and full Of interest.
As a result, strance scenes are constantly
being enacted. Lie in a tuo would not
strike the casual observer at first thought
as exhIaratng. And yet cold facts prove
that so adapted is humanity TO its envi-
ronment that contentment and even
cheerful spirit is compatible with tub
dwelling.
There is precedent for this latter-day
luo lie to be found in classical reminders
OF the philosophical Diogenes, who also
dWeIt in a tub.
Inc constancy of the treatment is so
hteraI that. virtually the patient who once
enters, unless cured, never leaves his tub.
ne visitor 10 the water-cure department
or the Vienna Hospital is abruptly ad-
mltted to cham Der of great size where
are groups of covered bathtubs. Each tub
Is occupied by a man or woman sunk IN
water 10 the chin. There is no lack OF en-
terprise on the part OF these unfOrtunates
IN the way OF efforts at sell or mutual en-
tertainment. 1t is paIpably III the air,
however, that they are all there on busi-
hess, the important business of getting
we'll, and the one first and general prin-
SipIe adhered TO and enforced by each and
fevery patient, physician and attendant is
b keep constantly, so to speak, in soak up
70 the neck.
UpOn a recent visit to the hospital the
tubs were observed to be ali occupied, and
the visitor was informed by he house sur
geon that there was a waiting list of thlr-
teen patients, all anxious, The last man
was especially so because of his innate
superstition regarding the to him ominous
chance that had made him number thir-
teen. The tub-dwelIers, while being OBJ
served by the visitor referred TO, were anus
ing themselves by reading, playing musi-
cal instruments and cards and smoking.
One inventive genius had little workable
laid on top OF his tub-d yelling and with
tools, brass wheels, pulieys, shafts and
springs was evolving from the assortment
what might be either an eight-day clock
or an anarchistic BON b-firing machine, or
possibly he was at work on that old ignie
fatuus, which has lured so many -perpet-
ual motion.
The gregariousness Of mankind was well
illustrated by the fact that some of the
tubs were grouped so that four woGld be,
at their circumference, in touch with each
other, while few tubs were remote and
isolated, In this wet little world there
were, as in the great outer world, few in
dividuals who preferred solitude and SELF
communion. One OF the groups of four
tubs contained quartet of jovial friends,
whose spirits could never be dampened,
although their bodies were never dry.
One mem Der Of this quartet was a fair,
round-faced German woman, presumably
fat and probably over 40. The other
three were men, one of them quite bald,
and all looking as if they had never ab-
