Beginning with a brief, engaging history of the discovery of the springs in ancient times, the author discusses the unique qualities of the water that have made the city a popular health destination for centuries. A list of health conditions that can be treated or alleviated by the waters is provided, along with contraindications that would make their use unwise. Information on the various bathing establishments is presented, including details on the buildings, hours of operation, and amenities available, along with an explanation of the different types of baths and their uses. The author includes practical advice on how to make the most of a course of thermal treatment, including the best time of year to visit, how to arrange to drink the waters, and the importance of following medical advice. There is also a section on the local climate and its health benefits, with statistics on temperature, rainfall, and prevailing wind patterns. The author concludes with a discussion of the positive results that can be expected from taking a course of the waters, emphasizing that the treatments are most effective for gout, rheumatism, and skin disorders.
