3. _Paralysis, general or local_—the sequence of apoplectic attacks, or the consequences of metastases of gout, rheumatism, or cutaneous eruptions from the surface to the brain or spine—also those paralytic affections occasioned by the poisons of lead, arsenic, mercury, &c. or contusions or other injuries of the head and back. Dr. Richter cautiously observes that, during the use of the Wisbaden waters for the foregoing class of complaints, it will often be necessary to bleed, cup, or leech, as well as to take aperient medicines from time to time, under the guidance of the medical attendant. 4. _Scrofulous complaints_, of all kinds and degrees. 5. _Rheumatism_, with its various consequences. Of course it is _chronic_ rheumatism that is here meant, with enlargements of joints, contractions, effusions into the capsular ligaments, &c. which attend on and follow that painful class of diseases. 6. The _sequences of mercurial courses_ for various diseases, both in this country and between the tropics. 7. _Several pulmonary complaints_, occasioned by repressed gout, rheumatism or cutaneous eruptions. 8. The Wisbaden waters (like many other mineral springs) are lauded as efficacious in certain complaints and defects of both sexes, which it is not convenient or proper to notice in this place. COUNTER-INDICATIONS. Dr. Richter dedicates a chapter to those complaints which are not benefited, but injured by the waters of Wisbaden. 1. All _acute_ diseases—that is to say, diseases accompanied by fever or inflammation, are totally and entirely prohibited from these waters. But this is not all. Wherever there is febrile action in the constitution, or local inflammation, however subacute, or even chronic, the use of thermal springs, either as drink or baths—but especially the baths—is dangerous. “These waters, internal and external, will excite the circulation and nervous system (already too much exalted) into the most dangerous reactions, and lead to the most deplorable consequences.” P. 43.
