"Strathpeffer is a Spa of old repute. Its waters are rich in sulphuretted hydrogen and sulphur, resembling those of Harrogate, Moffat, and Aix-la-Chapelle, but containing more sulphuretted hydrogen than any in Britain. In this little book Dr. Manson tells us all we want to know about these waters, and the ailments likely to drive benefit from their use......Those seeking relief from such, will do worse than visit the glorious scenery of the Highlands, amidst which this Spa is situated." $200 CAD
