Excerpt from Homburg-Spa: An Introduction to Its Waters and Their Use

This little volume is made up of notes penned during the course of 14 years and owes its appearance to the suggestion of friends across the Channel. It was originally intended for the medical reader alone. The author however has been led to revise it; and on mature consideration, though greatly re ducing its size, prefers addressing himself to a somewhat more extended circle of readers, who might wish to acquaint themselves with a subject of wide and popular interest. In spite of his desire that the style of his writ ing should tally with this enlarged scope, he has found himself unable to forego entirely the use of technical terms. These he leaves, for the reason given above, to the kindly indulgence of the non-professional reader. Hefurther trusts that a careful perusal of this pamphlet will show that, though it takes its name from one watering place, it covers some part of the vast field of general hydrology and dietetic hygiene for invalids at watering places generally.
