A TRIBUTE
OF SCIENCE.
Synopsis of a most Remarkable
Lecture Delivered Before the
Ninth Medical Congress, by
DR.. A. L. A. Toboldt, of the
University of Pennsylvania.

The famous fountain of health
at Carlsbad, in Bohemia, which
has been the refuge of invalids
for five centuries, is certainly
well worthy of a careful study.
My experience with this rene
dlalagent has been such that I
may truly say that no remedy
which I ever employed has given
me SO much pleasure and profit
as this particular one. Selecting
a number of chronic hypochon-
drlacs, whose Affections have
baffled all my previous efforts as
my subjects, | was truly aston.
lshed to note thai, although no
rigid diet was prescribed, and
only admitted amount of exercise
was INDUCED in, I obtained most
remarkable results-the complex
ion, even after a weeks use.
began to clear up. the step be-
came more firm and elastic, and,
what was more, the entire host
OF hypochondriacal complaints,
seemed to vanish like mist.
DR.. Toboldts lecture, with
table of cases treated, will be
mailed to any address upon ap-
pllcation to the agents of the
Carlsbad Spring, EIsNER & Mem
