TAILIEUCHUNG - Buxton and its Medicinal Waters

The ancient town of Buxton, which is situated upon the extreme western boundary of the county of Derby, at an elevation of 1,000ft. above the sea level, lies in a deep basin, having a subsoil of limestone and millstone grit, and is environed on every side by some of the most romantic and picturesque scenery in the High Peak, hill rising above hill in wild confusion, some attaining an altitude of from 1,900ft. to 2,000ft. Buxton, or, as originally called, Bawkestanes, was occupied as a military station by the Romans, who, during their occupancy, constructed baths over the tepid water springs which issue through fissures. | Buxton and its Medicinal Waters by Robert 1 BUXTON AND ITS MEDICINAL waters ROBERT OTTBXELL G1FFORDOBENNET Buxton and its Medicinal Waters by Robert The Project Gutenberg eBook Buxton and its Medicinal Waters by Robert Ottiwell Gifford-Bennet This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.

JOHN HEYWOOD DEANSGATE AND RIDGEFIELD MANCHESTER 2 AMEN CORNER LONDON . PREFACE. Knowing from long experience the powerful action exerted upon the human system by the Buxton Medicinal Thermal Water and the unsatisfactory results arising from its indiscriminate and incautious use either in the form of baths or by taking it internally I have in the following pages as briefly and succinctly as possible endeavoured to make some practical suggestions for the guidance of those of my professional brethren who have had no opportunity of becoming personally acquainted with the Buxton Spa with the hope that they may prove of service.
