Scope & Content |
This photocopy of the preface to Mineral Waters of the United Sstates and American Spas discusses medicinal hydrology and how medical students need this knowledge but it is not being taught. In this book, Fitch proposes to discuss the known springs in the United States, describe them and tell of the analyses of the waters. He gives a brief history of waters going to the Egyptians and later the Romans, French, Spanish and others. He will discuss Americans going abaroad to partake of the European spas as well as the importation of foreign water for drinking. Unfortunately, we do not have the remainder of the book to learn of his research. |
