What Our Customers Say...
Description
Leather Binding, Very Scarce
Very scarce. Fourth edition, revised. This particular copy in bound in a half calf binding, with marbled paper covered board. Written in the original German. This interesting work discusses balneotherapy, the treatment of illnesses and disease through the process of bathing in mineral springs. The work also explores the concept of climatotherapy, the movement of a patient to area in which the climate is believed to aid their medical recovery. A fascinating insight into this practise in mainland Europe in the late 19th century.
Condition
