Excerpt from Hydrotherapia, or the Water Cure
The object of the present work is to promote the proper knowledge of a subject which has recently occupied much of the public attention - I allude to the Water-cure. Simple as this cure may appear from the simplicity of the remedy employed, and known, or believed to be known, by everybody - namely, water, there is a very great deal to be said and learned as to the effects of its manifold applications. The days for the search after the philosopher's stone are pretty well over, and the idea of finding a remedy, in the shape of pill or draught, by way of panacea, may be said to have passed also; this being admitted, I will not, as many have done, attempt to cry up water as an universal, and the only sure and safe remedy. I acknowledge the wonderful effects of it as related by others, and witnessed by myself; I acknowledge it as a Divine gift, and desire to see it used and appreciated as such.
