Excerpt from The Water Cure in Chronic Disease: An Exposition of the Causes, Progress, and Terminations of Various Chronic Diseases of the Digestive Organs, Lungs, Nerves, and of Skin; And of Their Treatment by Water, and Other Hygienic Means Every writer supposes that his work is to supply some want. My object in publishing this treatise, is to afford a truthful and rational exposition of the value of the water treatment in certain chronic diseases. I apprehend that it is wanted, because the works on the subject of the water cure which have hitherto appeared in this country contain, so far as my experience informs me, much over statement as to its operation, and are moreover written rather to catch the hopeful invalid, than to enlighten him as to the nature of his disease, or the mode in which the water plan is to relieve it. From this remark I except the work of Dr. E. Johnson, entitled, Hydropathy, wherein the manner in which the water cure Operates on the chemistry of the living body is very ably traced. The other works have not the slightest claim to be called scientific. In the First Part of this work, the origin, progress, extension, and terminations of Chronic Disease in general, are delineated and explained, and one general deduction from the facts made, - namely, that no disease becomes chronic, unless the central organs of nutrition are affected.

Excerpt from The Water-Cure in Chronic Diseases: An Exposition of the Causes, Progress, and Terminations of Various Chronic Diseases of the Digestive Organs, Lungs, Nerves, Limbs, and Skin; And of Their Treatment by Water, and Other Hygienic Means To that Truth I have strongly adhered in the following pages. What I have stated is altogether of my own experi ence in an extensive field of practical observation during four years: and be the result to lessen or exalt the reader's ideas of the water cure, the Truth is told The cases recounted were treated by me at Malvern. In publishing them I have not descended to the vulgarity of publishing also the names of the patients, nor can they be guessed at by initials or any other token. The reader who requires such objectionable evidence should apply it to himself and ask, Who is safe if medical attendants publish the names with the infirmities of their patients 7 Hence, such a proceeding is very pro perly rejected by the members of the medical profession as undignified and indecent: and I apprehend that non profos sional persons will not Vlhw it in any other light.
