title: [The balneotherapy importance of the silicon compounds in siliciferous waters when used externally].

Fresh, siliceous, siliceous carbon-dioxide and carbon-dioxide waters were tested comparatively. It is reported that siliceous baths with threshold silicon compounds concentration 50 mg/l had the effect similar to that of fresh-water baths.
