Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Climatic Treatment: Including Balneology The chief aim of this book is to place the therapeutics of climate on a secure foundation. With this view the physiology of climate is very fully dealt with; and it yields an adequate basis for a new Classification of Climates. This new classification is especially fitted for the needs of the physician. A concise account of Meteorology, or the factors of climate, from a medical standpoint, precedes the physiological discussion. The well-known works of Buchan, Scott, Hann, Mohn, van Bebber, and Renk have been freely used. Another aim of the book is to enable the physician readily to master the principles of choice in the selection of Baths and Mineral Waters. With this object a therapeutic classification has been adopted. In this portion of the subject the works of Kisch and of Reimer, and especially the encyclopedic Lehrhuch of Glax, have been my constant friends. The materials here put together have been steadily collected during many years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
