Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On the Harrogate Spas: And Change of Air; Exhibiting a Medical Commentary on the Waters, Founded on Professor Hofmann´s Analysis "By chemic art, your healing qualities I too may boast to know; and whence derived, From earths, or salts, or mineral particles Combined, suspended by attraetion´s laws, Or held in union by aerial chains, And crown´d by sprightly gas." Notwithstanding the favourable reception of former editions of "The Harrogate Spas," I have ventured to entirely recast the subject matter of the present work, which has indeed been almost re-written. It seemed, therefore, more appropriate to designate it as a New, rather than as a Fourth Edition. To blend the historical and descriptive; to glance at the lovely landscapes, and prominent objects of natural and artistic beauty in the neighbourhood; to present the reader with the evidence which, during six years, has gradually strengthened my convictions of the real efficacy of the Harrogate waters, - exceeding, as they do, in number and variety, all others assembled in one spot; - and to warn him against their injudicious use: - such are the principal objects of the work. He will find that the special, and indeed the celebrated, action of the waters upon that all-important organ, the human skin, is one of the best explanations of their beneficial effects upon the general health.
