Guidott, a physician of Oxford and later Bath, was greatly interested in the medicinal and chemical properties of spa waters, particularly those of Bath. This is his first book. Much of the work is of chemical interest, and Guidott discusses the analyses of Bath waters, pointing out that they contain niter, sulphur, vitriol, and several salts of metals. He also describes many experiments that confirm the presence of these components. (Roy G. Neville I: p. 559). - Wellcome III, p.178. - Partington II, p. 607.
