Title: Errors of Physicians and Others in the Practice of the Water-Cure" -- Early Treatise on Hydrotherapy
Author: J.H. Rausse
Seller: Eclectibles (United States)
Condition: Good to very good. Spotting, short closed tear to upper wrapper. Ink stamp to lower wrapper.
Description: New York, New York: Fowlers and Wells, 1849. Good to very good. Spotting, short closed tear to upper wrapper. Ink stamp to lower wrapper.. An early treatise on the alternative medicine of hydrotherapy, sometimes referred to as hydropathy. Using water in physiotherapy was most popular in the late 19th and early 20th century, and prompted the popularity of spas, sanitariums, and the use of what were perceived as "healing" waters and spring waters for health. This particular treatise, penned by a German physician, aims to dispel contemporary misconceptions about the practice and promote it to the American public. Subjects covered include: homeopathic treatment; diseases treated with water therapy; the importance of proper nutrition and digestive care; douching and sitz baths; and common errors by practitioners. A fascinating look into 19th century alternative medicines, and how it shaped modern notions of homeopathy and health. Later edition. Single vol. (7.5" by 4.5"), pp. 91, [5], engraved frontispiece depicting the "Water-Cure Establishment at South Orange, New Jersey", bound in original printed wrps. 7 copies of this edition on WorldCat (Aug. 2025).
