    An hour's rest in bed after each bath is considered essential for the Nauheim treat- ment. In the full season the great demand for the baths renders this difficult, as the accommodation for lying down is very limited, except for ladies. If unable to rest in bed for an hour after each bath, the patient goes slowly back to the hotel and then rests in bed for an hour.^ The best time for visiting Nauheim is from May 15th until the end of June. Early in May the climate is apt to be wet and chilly; in July very close and sultry. ' At Wildbad the patient is carried in a covered sedan-chair from the bath-house to his bedroom in the hotel. At Gastein the mineral water is brought into the hotel, and the patient at once goes to bed for an hour.
