Excerpt from The Mineral Waters of Vichy: Their Origin Physical Properties, Chemical Composition and Curative Effects, the Diseases in Which They Are Ordered and the Way in Which the Must Be Prescribed; With Remarks on the Advantages of Graduated Glasses (Verres Gradues) To Be Used in Drinking I do not present to them an elaborate work on the subject, but some observations bearing particularly on the Vichy waters. I have endeavoured, in a slight degree, to supply them with such information, as they could not acquire at a distance from the springs, and to give them in a few pages, all that is necessary to enable them safely to send their patients to the thermal waters.
