5. _Debility of the chest._—However vague and inexact this term, there is a _disposition_ to pulmonary disease to which it may be applied, and which it is of great importance to recognize. One of the chief symptoms is a susceptibility to colds, or irritability of the mucous membrane of the chest, accompanied by oppression, weight, and hacking cough. If this be neglected, it may lead to serious disease. A protracted course of the Kesselbrunnen, repeated for several seasons, has been found very efficacious in such states of the respiratory apparatus. 6. _Tubercles of the lungs; or pulmonary consumption._—This dreadful malady, which cuts off such prodigious numbers of the human race, is more frequently arrested in its progress by the KESSELBRUNNEN, than by any other remedy. At the same time it is proper to remark that neither this nor any other remedy will prove efficacious, if the disease be confirmed. It is where the tubercles are in a nascent or latent state, that the Ems waters tend to purify the blood, and prevent further deposition of tuberculous matter in the air-cells. Perhaps, too, they may cause absorption of those already deposited. It need hardly be urged that the earlier the waters are used the better. 7. In obstinate and neglected _catarrhs of the mucous membrane of the trachea and larynx_, the Kesselbrunnen has produced the most beneficial effects. 8. _Spitting of blood._—If this proceeds from irritability of the lungs themselves—from active congestion—or general plethora, the Ems waters will be absolutely injurious. But if the hæmorrhage be symptomatic of disordered conditions of the liver and other abdominal organs, then, the Ems waters taken internally, but not as baths, may prove serviceable. The same reasoning will apply to asthma. 9. _Scrofula._—Daily experience has proved the efficacy of the alkaline waters of Ems in scrofulous affections generally. 10. _Nervous disorders._—The waters of this spa have a singularly soothing and tranquillizing effect on the nervous system, as great numbers of patients can annually testify. Hence they are much used in hypochondriasis, neuralgia, tic douloureux, periodical head-aches, chorea, &c. 11. _Congestions_ of the liver and abdominal organs generally—hæmorrhoids—jaundice—engorgements and indurations of the uterus, ovaries, &c.—colics, cramps, and epigastric pains—heart-burns—vomitings, &c. These are all ameliorated or cured by the waters of Ems. 12. _Gout._—The action of the Ems waters on the constitution is to throw out the morbid matter from the blood—the cause of this painful malady in all the normal and irregular forms. At the same time, if the malady be of long standing, and the individual of weakly constitution, the waters of Wisbaden or Carlsbad will be more efficacious than those of Ems. 13. _Rheumatism._—The same observations will apply to this as to gout. 14. _Chronic eruptions and ulcerations of the skin_ are greatly benefitted by this spa.
