Note 65 — (Second Pilgrimage.) (continued 2)

The apparatus at Marienbad are admirably constructed, both for safety and efficacy. The hole in the lid of the bath embraces, by the aid of a handkerchief, so well the throat, that no gas escapes, while the patient suffers no difficulty of breathing. The gas enters by a tube at the bottom of the bath, and the superfluity is carried off by several others that enter near the top. Some covering is proper over the part exposed to the current of the gas from the pipe, to prevent taking cold—as the clothes do not, in the slightest degree, diminish the action of the gas on the body or members, provided they are light and thin.
