Excerpt from Results of Hydropathy: Or Constipation Not a Disease of the Bowels; Indigestion Not a Disease of the Stomach
The chief object of the present work is to give the results of my experience in the hydropathic treatment as practised by myself at Stanstead Bury House - not merely those results which consist in cases cured, but also the impressions which that experience has left upon my own mind.
Another object was the expression of certain opinions with reference to those two banes of society, Indigestion and Constipation. I am quite certain that the nature and causes of these two disorders have been totally misunderstood - that an erroneous practice has been adopted for their cure or relief, in consequence of this misconception of their nature, seat, and causes - and that the uniform want of success in treating these maladies, throughout the entire profession, is only the natural result of this misconception.
