Book Description
Excerpt from The Uses of Water, Vol. 1 of 2: In Modern Medicine That the proper methods of applying water in disease require to be brought before the American medical public in a comprehensive, practical form has long been the author's observation. He has, therefore, undertaken to write a suc cinct account of the present status of water as a therapeutic agent. The only work in the English language which has not the taint of quackery, the valuable treatise of Winternitz in Ziemssen's Handbook of Therapeutics, has long been out of print. Owing to its being a portion of a large work, it has escaped the attention of the profession, and has not received the appreciation it deserves as a scientific exposition of the views of an author who has rendered medicine the incalculable service of rescuing the remedial virtues of water from the empirical environment into which it had fallen, and to which the medical profession appeared until recently to be inclined to abandon it. As Ziemssen has justly said, whatever we know of hydrotherapy, we owe to Winternitz. To Prof. Winternitz Iam personally indebted, not only for knowledge derived from his numerous scientific and clinical writings, each one of which is replete with logically Stated truths, but also for personal guidance and instruction during a sojourn at his institution in Kaltenleutgeben, where the best informed hydrotherapists in Europe have received their instruction.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Uses of Water in Health and Disease: A Practical Treatise on the Bath, Its History and Uses Since the announcement of the alleged discovery of Priessnitz, about fifty years ago, there has been no scarcity of books upon "Hydropathy," "Water-Cure," and kindred topics. With rare exceptions, these works have been, in reality, little better than advertising mediums for some individual or institution. As might be expected in works prepared for such purposes, they have contained numerous and flagrant exaggerations of the effects of water as a remedial agent, often representing it as a specific for certain maladies and a sure preventive of others. These extravagant accounts, together with various absurd teachings relating to methods of application, have rendered just the popular verdict indicated by the fact that the dingy shelves of nearly every second-hand book store in New York and Philadelphia, as well as other large cities, are laden with these musty old volumes which rest beneath the accumulated dust of years. The objects of this work may be briefly summarized as follows: 1. To present a careful and candid account of the nature of water and its physiological effects. 2. To explain the effects of water when used as a remedy for disease, and to demonstrate its value as a remedial agent. 3. To show that the employment of water in the treatment of disease has been practiced by the most eminent physicians of all ages, and is not a modern discovery.
