MATLOCK
BANK
Hydropathic Establishment,
AN UNRIVALLED
WINTER RESIDENCE, FOR INVALIDS.
__________________________________________________
£10,000 HAVE been expended in addition to the previous
large
outlay in completing this Establishment, and it is now
unrivalled as a temporary home for the Invalid in summer,
or in the
coldest winter weather.
The extensive Saloons command the beautiful scenery of the
Matlock
Valley; they are all connected with the Bed-rooms and the
extensive
new Bath-houses, so that the Invalid need not set foot out
of doors in cold
or wet weather, and, with ample space for air and exercise.
The Saloons are glazed the whole extent of the front, and
contain
recesses with couches, and a table in the centre of each.
Invalids can
repose in comparative, privacy, free from draughts, and at
the same time
have the advantage of the public room. These recesses are
a novel
feature in the construction of rooms, and will no doubt be
copied in large
Establishments, as they afford great privacy even amongst
a large company.
The Bath-houses are distinct buildings, each. 25 feet wide,
20 high, and
100 feet long, warmed with steam, and contain separate boxes
for each
individual to have the treatment privately. Each box is supplied
with
hot and cold water, steam, and all necessary apparatus for
the baths.
There is a covered promenade 200 feet long, open to the South
West
only, which will be found very convenient to patients who
can take but
little out-door exercise. Also, alcoves and smooth walks
in the grounds,
suited for bath chairs.

including
board, lodging baths, and advice. No doctor's fees or servant's
