Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Health Resorts of the British Islands In that admirable work Climates and Baths of Great Britain, published just ten years ago by the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society, while Scotland (save for descriptions of two of her spas) is not referred to, the survey of England, Wales and Ireland is practically complete, and includes, in addition to health resorts, places mainly residential in character. Both in purpose and plan there are several points of difference in the present volume. It has had its origin in the belief that there was room for a work on the model of those manuals published on the Continent, in which health resorts as such, and matters of interest in relation to them, are the subjects exclusively dealt with. It was thought not only that such a publication might prove of service to the medical profession at home, but that it was time for some effort to secure international recognition for British health resorts. To aid in bringing their advantages to the notice of foreign physicians has, in fact, been a main object of these pages, arrangements for a French edition of which are in progress. As best serving the ends in view, attention has been focused on the principal resorts, those of minor importance being either briefly dealt with or entirely omitted. Considerable difficulty was experienced in the collection of information concerning sea-bathing and mineral water charities, and the list of the institutions may not be quite complete. Nevertheless, it is hoped that the section devoted to them will be found useful by practitioners who appreciate the value of those forms of treatment for the poorer of their patients. Since before long the State will provide sanatorium benefit for the working classes, the list given here is restricted to institutions intended for persons able to meet the cost of their treatment, in whole or in part. In addition to a general discussion in two of the chapters, there are sections comparing the indications for British an for Continental spas and climatic stations. Chiefly for the convenience of physicians abroad, mention has been made by name of hydropathic establishments, and in most of the chief resorts, of hotels.
