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
Naples and its beautiful Bay, have been so amply described in all the Works on Southern Italy, that any further account of them may seem to be super fluous. Its Medical Topography, however, has met with fewer historians; and there is still wanting some detailed account of the characteristics of its climate and soil, as adapted for the residence of invalids. Having resided some years in that city, and being thus probably, enabled to form a more correct judgment than those who have seen it only as occasional visitors, 1 shall devote the following pages to the purpose of exhibiting a history of its climate, and medical character, and of examining how far it is fitted for the Wifit'ér's sojourn of an invalid.

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."
