The mineral waters of Aix-les-Bains and Marlioz : practical considerations on their action and application / by Léon Blanc.

    PEEFACE. Ix offering this little work to English Physicians, it is not with the view of giving a complete his- tory of the maladies or affections treated at Aix, which, indeed, would be a task difficult of execution, as it would expose the writer to frequent repetitions, and needlessly fatigue the readers. It would be necessary, in fact, to take up each malady sepa- rately, and indicate the treatment to be employed in every special case. I have, above all, endeavoured to show, in as succinct a manner as possible, the physiological action of the waters of Aix, and the complete system of administering them. I have appended to this study remarks on the application of the waters in the different disorders treated at Aix. These are the results of an experience of fifteen
    years, which I have wished to condense in as few lines as possible. This little summary will, I hope, be received by my English colleagues with the same kindness and indulgence that I received from tliem during my sojourn in their country. Aix-les-Bains, June, 1883.
