    PREFACE. Much of the following Notes was compiled for insertion in a fourth edition of the author's < Manual of Family Medicine for India ;' but it was found the bulk of that work would thereby be too much increased. The original Notes have, therefore, been somewhat ampli- fied, and are now published as a separate volume. There is not, it is believed, any other publication affording even a bird's-eye view of the sanitary stations of India. While all have been reported on officially, and while handbooks and guides have been prepared for some localities, no previous attempt has been made to give the principal characteristics of each place under one cover. Similarly, although numerous books have been written on one or other, or on one or other group, of the Health Kesorts of Europe, there is no one work affording the information to be found in the following pages.
