Excerpt from Hints for Invalids About to Visit Naples: Being a Sketch of the Medical Topography of That City, Also an Account of the Mineral Waters of the Bay of Naples, With Analyses of the Most Important of Them, Derived From Authentic Sources The following pages are presented to the public in the hope that they may in some degree supply the oft acknowledged deficiency of a guide to the medical topography of this interesting country. In the relation of facts there is little field for originality, while any desire to dilate on the classic beauties with which it abounds has been suppressed, in furtherance of the wish to convey, in as simple a form as possible, such information as may prove most subservient to the prominent object of the work. If it possess any merit, it is that only which is founded on accuracy of detail. On visiting England last year I was surprised to find how little my professional brethren were aware of the extensive suite of mineral waters of the bay of Naples. Of the false impressions existing respecting it there has been much reason to complain. The work of De Renzi "On the Topografia Medica del' Regno di Napoli, " is little known out of the kingdom. I have availed myself of the information it contains, and of the work of Mons. de Rivaz, entitled "Descrizione delle Acque Minerali, e delle Stufe Dell' Isola d' Ischia."
