    PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. The success which attended the first edition of this little work, and its very rapid sale, conclusively prove that it has supplied a want felt by the public. The present edition has been carefully revised to bring it up to date, and two new chapters added j the first of these was rendered necessary by the building of a new suite of baths for the introduction of modern scientific modes of bathing, chief among which are the Aix-les- Bains massage douching, and local thermal vapour treatment. The second is devoted to massage, which now takes such an important place in connection with balneology, that any work on the subject must be considered incomplete which fails to take it into account. Thus enlarged, it is hoped the “ Popular Guide may continue to meet with'public favour. 6, The Circus, Bath; August, i88S.
