My Rest Cure is a book written by George Robey and published in 1919. The book is a humorous account of the author's experience with a rest cure, a popular medical treatment during the early 20th century. Robey, a well-known British comedian, was suffering from exhaustion and was advised by his doctor to take a rest cure. The book chronicles his stay at a health resort, where he spends his days lounging in a hammock, taking walks, and receiving various treatments. Along the way, he meets a cast of colorful characters, including other patients and staff members, and shares his observations and witty commentary on their antics. The book is a lighthearted and entertaining look at a popular medical treatment of the time, and provides an interesting glimpse into the world of early 20th century health resorts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
