When this report first appeared in 1820, mineral waters were often prescribed for various illnesses. It was with the medical profession in mind that physician Charles Scudamore (1779–1849) conducted his research into the chemical composition of these waters. Here he investigates nine British locations, meticulously documenting his results.
