Synopsis Of q 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
we'll worthy of a careful study.
My experience with this rene
dialagent has been such that /
may truly say that no remedy
which / ever employed has given
me so much pleasure and profit
as this particular one. Selecting
a number of chronic hypochon-
driacs, whose Affections have
bafled all my previous efforts as
my subjects, | was truly aston
ished to note that, although no
rigid diet was prescribed, and
only a limited amount of exercise
was INDUCED in, / 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.

table of cases treated, will be

plication to the agents of the
