The contents of this book entirely accord with the title. The details ] of numerous interesting cases illustrate the doctrines which the author ] promulgates, and give to the latter a more definite character than is j always met with in the writings of balneologists. The diseases in which ] these waters are chiefly beneficial are chronic rheumatism, old-standing ] syphilis, chronic affections of the skin. Other morbid conditions are 1 benefitted by them, but there is one disease which appears to be more I amenable to treatment by the Aix waters than by any of the ordinary j pharmaceutical preparations — it is the fatty degeneration of the muscles J or progressive muscular atrophy. Four cases are given in detail, in 1 which the results are extremely favourable To this brief 1 summary of the indications and counter-indications for the therapeutic -j employment of the Aix waters, we would add our hearty commendation I of the tone which pervades Dr. Welzlar's book, Medical men anxious for I information on the subject, will find it a useful and trustworthy guide, ' British and Foreign medico-ckirurgical Revieiv.
