Abstract
THIS is a special plea for Barbados as a health resort, and Mr. Moxly adduces many facts in support of his position. The climate is superb, and the great drawback is want of drainage, giving rise to epidemics of typhoid fever. The book is well worth perusal by those in search of a winter-summer. The book will be useful as a guide, though we regret to note the absence of any map.
An Account of a West Indian Sanatorium, and a Guide to Barbados.
By the Rev. J. H. Sutton Moxly. (London: Sampson Low and Co., 1886.)
