About This Book

An early-modern medical and historical study of a northern English spa that documents the sensory and chemical qualities of a notable mineral spring, collects early accounts of its discovery and use, and compares it with continental spas. Presented chapter by chapter, it assembles patient observations, practical advice for visitors, and learned speculation about therapeutic effects, while also cataloguing nearby springs and their reputed virtues and tracing the local development of the bathing site.
