sixwere entirely cured, three much

treatment, four weeks. In all OF
these cases no particular diet was
prescribed. The doctor claims, in
conclusion of his paper, that the
Carlsbad Mineral Water, as ex-
ported by the city of Carlsbad,
being the natural product, is much
to be preferred where the guam
tity of water is no objection,
particularly in diseases of the
stomach Whenever the quantity
of water cannot be taken, the
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt (genuine) ,

states that the effect of the water

any adjuncts of treatment, such as
diet and exercise, whether taken
hot or cold, claiming even an
advantage when taken cold, as it
acts more decidedly purgative,
and that he has given cold the
preference, only using the water
hot when less purgative action
is desired. The dose of the water
employed was two tumblerfuls be-
fore breakfast and one or two dur
ing the day. The dose of Salt is
a tcaspoontul twice day dis
