This article presents information on the paper "The Effect of Seaside Climate on Endogenous Eczema," by J. Stein. In this paper favorable results of climatic treatment of eczema both in the mountains and at the seaside have been reported. The choice of the right place is important however. Eleven patients were observed in a camp on the shores of the Baltic Coast. Meteorological observations were conducted at the same time. Nine of the patients recovered completely, the other two improved. One case had seborrhoeic manifestations which were unaffected by climate, but improved with sea bathing. Itching was relieved very soon after arrival at the seaside.
