    There are two cures at Nauheim, a short and a long one. In most cases a month's treatment is long enough. The benefit gained the first month is often lost by the prolonged course of six or seven weeks. The short course should not extend beyond twenty-one baths in twenty-eight days. After it, the best course for the patient is to leave Nauheim, and take the after-cure in the mountains, and then return for the exercises. The long course in very many cases destroys the good effect of the short course. The doctor hoping to do more good by prolonging the treatment finds that exhaus- tion follows, and the ultimate result often bad and discouraging.
