Title
Delle acque di S. Cristoforo, trattato
Description
The physician Borsieri (1725-1785) achieved notoriety at a young age after successfully containing a plague outbreak in Faenza using mercury compounds. He continued his analysis of mineralogical components of the surrounding area, first publishing his treatise on the waters of San Cristoforo in 1761. Borsieri was one of the first to analyze mineral waters for their medicinal and therapeutic value, paving the way for the modern study of medical hydrology. Unlike many doctors at the time, who claimed that mineral waters were cure­ alls, Borsieri argued that they were effective in treating only certain ailments depending on the mineralogical components in the water.
