![CASES BY DR. SHIEFERDECKER. DR. SHIEFERDECKER'S HYDRIATRIC INSTITUTION. From the first of October, 1847, I open again my Hydriatric Institution, in Philadelphia, which I had closed during the sum- mer season. It is situated on the banks of the Schuylkill, corner of Chest- nut and Beach streets. The house was originally built for a splendid hotel, and contains about forty larger and smaller rooms. It is furnished with all the necessary different baths, and has in every story water introduced. Ladies and gentlemen have their separate parlors. The price for board, lodging, and medical advice, ranges from $7 00 upwards, according to cir- cumstances. The manner of my treatment is a strict imitation of Priess- nitz's own applications ; I only differ somewhat from his diet, pro- hibiting any other meat but beef, mutton, and venison. Gh.
