Excerpt from The Prescribers Guide to the Harrogate Mineral WatersSome years since, I made a tour of the English watering places, almost as a matter of curiosity, when, to my no inconsiderable astonishment, a closer acquaintance with Harrogate showed me that it possessed a collection of mineral waters not approached by any locality in England, and only surpassed by one in Europe, viz: the volcanic district of Naples.A combination of circumstances such as a dozen years residence amidst the thousands of thermo mineral springs of Naples and of Southern Italy and Sicily, some thirty journeys across Europe, taking in many of its great spas, trips to Sara toga, the solfataras, geysers and hot springs of Iceland, gave me data by which to estimate Har rogate and its waters.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
