Abstract
AS the causation and character of chronic ailments are better understood, more and more reliance is placed upon baths and climates for their treatment. The health resoyts combine many conditions favourable to health and in fact, represent more or less a return p nature, a reaction which becomes necessary in proportion to the increase of civilisation. The work of Sir Hermann and Dr. Parkes Weber upon these topics is well known in America and Europe, and is conveniently presented in the present volume, which has been much enlarged in the section of climatotherapy. It now affords the most complete account of the therapeutics of climate, waters, and baths that has yet been published in our language.
