“In this book, says the author, ‘will be contained the conditions under which a medical practitioner may practise his profession, and the requirements for the medical degree at the universities and medical corporations in almost all the civilised countries of the world.’ This promise is kept.... It contains much information not easily accessible, and likely to be useful.”—Chemist and Druggist.

HEALTH RESORTS AND SPAS OF EUROPE.
“We have never yet seen anything that quite equalled the delicious brevity of Dr. Hardwicke’s remarkably curt and incisive little hand-book. In the brief space of 184 pages he introduces us to all the health-resorts and spas of the entire eastern hemisphere, from England to Egypt, and from Madeira to St. Moritz. We are bound to admit that, so far as it is possible to test his information by the light of personal experience, his short paragraphs are thoroughly up to date, even as regards the smallest and most insignificant watering-places.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
“Contains, in addition to chapters on the climatic and hygienic treatment of disease, and the properties and uses of various mineral waters, succinct accounts, in alphabetical order, of the different health-resorts and spas of Britain and of the continent of Europe. The exposure, the elevation, the range and limit of temperature, and other amenities of each watering-place, are briefly described; in many cases also an analysis is given of the constituents and properties of the various chalybeate and other springs. In short, a great mass of information, such as invalids are most in quest of, is found in condensed and handy form.”—Scotsman.
“Contains some valuable knowledge of the climatic treatment of diseases, of which all should avail themselves. The usefulness of such a book must appear evident to those who experience the power of climate over the human constitution. It should be bought and studied and will doubtless give beneficial advice.”—Brighton Gazette.
“Ought to be welcomed by the large number of invalids whose daily avocation, as the author justly remarks, consists almost entirely in battling against their formidable foes, ‘weather and insalubrity.’ Dr. Hardwicke has some highly useful observations on the different stages of consumption.... The chapter on the properties and uses of water is also full of excellent hints.... Spa life on the continent is graphically described.... A carefully compiled index greatly enhances the value of this work, which is not to be judged merely by its size.”—Liverpool Mercury.
