 HEALTH RESORTS AND SPAS OF EUROPE. 



" We have never yet seen anything- that quite equalled the delicious 

 brevity of Dr. Hardwicke's remarkably curt and incisive little hand- 

 book. In the brief space of 184 pages he introduces us to all the 

 health-resorts and spas of the entire eastern hemisphere, from Erg-land 

 to Egypt, and from Madeira to St. Moritz. We are bound to admit

 and will doubtless give beneficial advice." Brighton Gazette.

 Hardwicke has some highly useful observations on the different stages 



of consumption The chapter on the properties and uses of water is 



also full of excellent hints Spa life on the continent is graphically 



described A carefully compiled index greatly enhances the value 



of this work, which is not to be judged merely by its size." Liverpool 

 Mercury. 



" The author gives some very practical remarks on the properties 

 and uses of water, hygienic ablutions and baths, and treats of mineral
