Dolmetsch writes: 

For the Clemens family the countess [Pauline Fürstin von Metternich] did two important favors. She introduced them to Dr. Wilhelm Winternitz, whose Kaltwasserkur (hydrotherapy) was then all the rage among the Austrian aristocracy as a cure for anything from lumbago to cancer, and found them a house, the Villa Paulhof, to rent near hers at Winternitz’s Kuranstalt in Kaltenleutgeben…. 

Budapest, 1899

The Clemenses were in Budapest for Mark Twain to address the Hungarian Journalist Association. See Our Famous Guest, pages 51-59.
