Synopsis

A System of Physiologic Therapeutics, Volume IV offers a practical, publisher‑level look at health resorts and the climates that make them work.

This edition compiles climatalogical data, notes on weather patterns, and therapeutic considerations that go beyond drug treatment, with a special focus on how climate can support prevention and recovery.

The Hawaii section illustrates how a single island chain can host a wide range of microclimates. It explains how rainfall varies dramatically by coast, elevation, and season, and how that variation influences suitability for health resort use. The text presents concrete climate figures and observations to show how dry, damp, and moist air interact with heat and wind to affect comfort and health benefits.
What you’ll experience
  • Clear explanations of how climate and geography influence the usefulness of health resorts.
  • Concrete rainfall records and temperature patterns from different islands and elevations.
  • A framework for considering climatic therapy and non‑drug approaches in patient care.
  • Historical context about how physicians evaluated resorts and climatic merits for treatment.
Ideal for readers of medical history, climatology, or anyone researching classic approaches to climate‑based health care and resort evaluation.
