Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the medicinal and therapeutic properties of the Virginia Hot Springs. It presents detailed descriptions of 15 case studies and the differing ways in which the baths and waters at the springs aided (or failed to aid) the subjects with their ailments such as rheumatism, gout, and paralysis. The author, a proprietor of the springs, provides an argument for their salubrious qualities and asserts that the waters are "not held up as a panacea, but on the contrary as highly injurious when improperly resorted to," and that they should be used with caution. A unique study of the springs, this book contributes to the study and practice of hydrotherapy and shares many examples of the healing properties of the Virginia Hot Springs.
