A Physician's Holiday

""A Physician's Holiday: Or A Month In Switzerland In The Summer Of 1848"" is a travelogue written by John Forbes, a physician who took a break from his medical practice to explore Switzerland in the summer of 1848. The book, which was published in 1850, describes Forbes' journey through the Swiss Alps, his encounters with the local people, and his observations on the country's culture, history, and natural beauty. Forbes also discusses his experiences with the Swiss healthcare system, which he found to be highly advanced and efficient. The book is a fascinating account of a physician's adventure in Switzerland during a time of political and social upheaval in Europe, and provides a unique perspective on the country's history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
