The Principal Baths of Switzerland and Savoy. By Edwin Lee,
M.D. (Churchill.)—Those who are suffering from "nervous disorders incident to a highly-civilized and artificial state of society," as our author puts it, in other words, who have not got mach the matter with them, but want a change, may find information in this book on such points as the hotels and casinos, or how many tumblers of the water it is the fashion to drink, but the directions are too vague for real invalids. There are some notices added of the mountain resorts, in which we are told that Zermatt is "not adapted for asthmatic and consumptive patients," which we might have guessed ; that Chamounix is thronged with visitors in the summer months, and that the "encroaches of ennui can often be effectually guarded against" at Interlachen.
