The Spas of Britain Official Handbook of the British Spa Federation
,for the use of the medical profession. By R Fortescue Fox .Undated but
I would guess at early 1900s.VGC
Really curious item dating form the period shortly before the Spa
movement fell from fashion.Gives full details of all the spas,their
history,details of various alarming cures available,lists of prices
etc.Superb.Who amongst us on visiting Llandrindod Wells could resist a
Hydro Electric Sulphur bath ,followed by a bout in the Nagelschmidt
Sinusoidal Current Apparatus?

A British radio  announcement that makes it to the 1950s era
Kermit Schaffer's BLOOPER list.

"We now take you to the Pump Room at Bath." <pump instead of pomp>

I don't get the exact posting.

I do know that natural & artificial

spas are a big deal in Italy, the U.S., and I suppose in most of the
World.

In the U.S., we have 'em with
in  bath-tubs.

There is a publication I've looked at for the  swimming pool & spa
industry(ies) when I was trying to fix a pool.

Please explain the posting a little further.
