Excerpt from On the Curative Effects of Baths and Waters: Being a Handbook to the Spas of Europe One of my motives for editing this work, is the hope of inducing teachers at our medical schools regularly to deliver a short course of lectures on the subject of baths and waters, and climate; and I do not know a work better adapted than Dr. Braun's to form the basis of such a course of lectures, especially if the knowledge thus acquired by reading be enlarged by personal visits to the spas.
