The Season at Baden-Baden: the Trink-Halle, 1865. 'The interior of the Trinkhalle...is interesting, as it shows the manner in which the water (still hot from the burning source that originates near the church) is distributed to invalids. The façade of the Trinkhalle, which is very near the Palais de la Conversation, is composed of sixteen elegant Corinthian columns. The quantity of water annually drunk in the Trinkhalle is very considerable, and its use is said to be particularly beneficial to persons suffering from gout rheumatism, and. other affections of the joints and limbs'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
