""Rocky Mountain Health Resorts: An Analytical Study Of High Altitudes In Relation To The Arrest Of Chronic Pulmonary Disease"" is a book written by Charles Denison and published in 1881. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the effects of high altitudes on the treatment of chronic pulmonary diseases. Denison examines the benefits of the dry, cool air found in the Rocky Mountains and other high altitude areas, and how it can help to alleviate symptoms of respiratory illnesses. The book is based on Denison's own experience as a physician in Colorado and his observations of patients who had come to the region seeking relief from their chronic lung conditions. He provides detailed descriptions of the various health resorts in the Rocky Mountains, including their climate, altitude, and other factors that contribute to their effectiveness in treating pulmonary diseases. Denison also discusses the medical theories and practices of the time, including the use of various drugs and treatments, and compares them to the benefits of high altitude therapy. He includes case studies of patients who have successfully recovered from chronic pulmonary diseases after spending time in the Rocky Mountains, and provides recommendations for physicians and patients seeking relief from respiratory illnesses.Overall, ""Rocky Mountain Health Resorts"" is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the medical practices of the late 19th century and the benefits of high altitude therapy for chronic pulmonary diseases.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
