Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Mineral Waters: The New England States The term mineral water has been variously defined, the definition having gradually changed from the restricted sense, meaning a water used only for medicinal purposes, to a water used for drinking or sometimes bathing purposes. Thus Dr. Peale, in his report to the Geological Survey on the statistics of mineral waters and the mineral water industry of the United States, says: Our reports do not restrict the term 'mineral water' to medicinal waters, but include all waters put on the market, whether they are utilized as drinking or table waters, or for medicinal purposes, or used in any other way. Bailey, in a special report of the Kansas Geological Survey, quotes Ossian Henry to the effect that Mineral waters are those waters which, coming from the bosom of the earth at variable depths, bring with them substances which may have upon the animal economy a medicinal action capable of giving rise to effects often very salutary in the different diseases affecting humanity, and he further quotes M. Durian-fardel to the effect that mineral waters are those 'natural waters which are employed in therapeutics because of their chemical composition or their temperatures. Walton, in his history of the mineral springs of the United States and Canada, defines a mineral water, in the medical acceptation of the term, as one which, by virtue of its ingredients, whether mineral, organic, or gaseous, or the principle of heat, is especially applicable to the treatment of disease.

Book A Treatise on the Mineral Waters of Vichy

Download or read book A Treatise on the Mineral Waters of Vichy written by Charles Cotar and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Mineral Waters of Vichy: For the Use of Practitioners It is with very great pleasure that I have been asked by Dr. Cota/r to write a few lines of introduction to his work on treatment by the mineral waters of Vichy. Of the various mineral waters seen in an ordinary house, probably none are more common than are the waters of Vichy, especially the Célestins. It is strange, however, that often one finds the busy English practitioner of medicine rather regarding the waters of Vichy as a pleasant beverage, and not so much as a serious method of treatment of disease. The waters of Carlsbad and other German Spas, as a medical means of treatment, are thoroughly appreciated by our British confre'res. It is only by reading a book like the admirable one now brought forward by Dr. Cotar that one can readily realise the great value of a systematic course of mineral-water treatment as carried out at Vichy, in the various medical cases where it is applicable. The book deals with the subject in a truly scientific manner, and there is a most valuable chapter showing the reasons why mineral waters are, from a physiological point of view, a proper method of treatment. I feel sure that the work will be found of value to medical men, as giving them a complete résumé of the whole treatment of disease, by Vichy waters in particular, as well as by mineral waters in general.

This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Medical Guide to the Mineral Waters of France and Its Wintering Stations In offering to the Medical Profession - and through them to the Public - this book on the Mineral Waters of France, I have endeavoured to be as concise as possible in order to furnish the busy practitioner with the means of ascertaining at a glance the chemical composition, the therapeutical value, and the geographical situation of the most important French Thermal Stations. I have availed myself of the latest monographs and other writings on the subject in order to bring the information up to date; and if I am unable to name all my French confreres to whom I am under an obligation, it is partly because they are too numerous, and also because I could not have named them alone without doing some injustice to the hardworking men of the past generation, who did so much to increase the reputation of our mineral springs. But there is one name which I could not omit to mention - it is that of Dr Durand-Fardel, who has perhaps done more than all others to elevate hydro-therapeutics to the position of a special science.

Book Mineral and Aerated Waters  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Mineral and Aerated Waters Classic Reprint written by C. Ainsworth Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mineral and Aerated Waters In this book I have endeavoured to give an outline of the early methods of making artificial mineral waters, and to trace the gradual evolution of the primitive forms of apparatus first invented into the carbonating plant of the present day. During the eighteenth century so much attention was given to the subject in the scientific journals of that time that it is possible to trace the beginnings of the mineral-water industry with much more detail than can be done in the case of many other industries. Descriptions of aerating processes and diagrams of apparatus are to be found in many unexpected places, and I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr. William Kirkby's "Evolution of Artificial Mineral Waters" for several sources of information that would otherwise have escaped my notice. My best thanks are also due to Mr. Kirkby for his permission to make use of the description and diagram of Withering's apparatus, and to Mr. A. Chaston Chapman, who has kindly supplied me with photographs of the wild yeasts illustrated in Chapter X. I would also thank the different manufacturers of modern plant who have placed photographs and descriptions of their machines at my disposal and have given me every assistance in their power. Among them I may mention Messrs. W. J. Fraser & Co., of Dagenham, Messrs. Hall & Co., The Riley Manufacturing Company, Messrs. Wickham & Co., of Ware, and, in particular, Messrs. Hayward-Tyler & Co., who have been at great trouble to obtain for me descriptions and illustrations of the machines made by their firm in the early part of last century.
