used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are

Bath physician Joseph Hume Spry (c.1779 1859) was concerned that
the popular practice of 'taking the waters' had fallen out of
favour. In 1822 he produced this treatise extolling the healing
properties of Bath's waters, supported by his own case notes and
the writings of other physicians. He claimed that manifold
afflictions, ranging from gout to indigestion, could be eased by
drinking or bathing in these mineral-rich waters. In addition to
offering careful instructions for treating each ailment, Spry's
book includes a chapter on Bath's history, detailed descriptions
and a sketch of the Roman baths, and a summary of the authors who
had previously described the baths, from Solinus in the third
century to Spry's contemporaries. Opening the work with a
supplicating dedication to one of Bath's wealthy patrons, Charles
Herbert Pierrepont, second Earl Manvers, Spry also used the book to
appeal for the much-needed restoration of the Roman baths."
