    INTRODUCTION- The success, with regard to weaknesses of the lungs, which has attended summer residence in the high Alps, and the occasional arrival of some cases of illness which should never come so high up the mountains, prompt the issue of an extract from my Alpine Winter, where some diseases are enumerated which contra-indicate (as far as I know at present) a resort to high altitudes for their amelioration. By special requests, a description is added of the various places of interest near Maloja. 33 Curzon Street, Mayfair, London, May, 1880.
