Detailed and informative 1893 letter on the medical and dietary treatment of diabetes at the Carlsbad Spa in Austria-Hungary. The lengthy letter, approximately 1,100 typed words, is addressed to Mrs. L. F. Southwick by William Swan, of Lambertville, New Jersey, himself a previous diabetic patient at Carlsbad. Swan writes at great length about the state-of-the-art medical treatments for diabetes available at Carlsbad, particularly noting the work of Dr. J. Kraus. Kraus was a resident physician at Carlsbad and the author of Carlsbad: Its thermal springs and baths and how to use them (4th ed., 1891). Swan notes the lack of experience of American physicians in treating diabetes and the benefits of going overseas to Carlsbad.
