I can now give more information regarding your enquiry below. Dr Henry Blumberg is the Hon.
Medical Officer in the 1888 annual report for Southport Hydro Hospital. By chance we have a
copy in our files and it includes an attractive illustration of the Hydro which looks like a church
with spire. Other MOs are Drs Stopford and Harvey.
Not much but I hope it helps. If you do a summary of your research I would welcome a copy.
