Synopsis
Excerpt from Compendium of Hygiene: Compiled for the Use of the Winsted Hygienic Association
N o body swallows a drug, nor does any candid person advise one, who believes medicine needless. All physi. Eiaus, however, admit the competence of the Hygienic Agencies to maintain the most Vigorous health 3 and it is well known that the nurse, whose office is to furnish merely the helps of hygiene, is, for the feeble and those long afflicted, the character assumed by the most successful practitioners. And for those sick with a recent attack of any disease, the results of abstinence and nursing in cases unnumbered should content reasonable men to trust their efficacy, unless a truly learned and trusty guide is attainable. Less skill or fewer counselors in the retaining and the restoration of health, is by no means desirable; but a distinct marking out and publishing of what is truly known on the subject, and a furnishing of means for the universal application of that knowledge, are of the highest practical interest to all.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book summarizes the tenets of the water cure, a treatment which emerged during the 19th century as an alternative to traditional medicine's use of bloodletting, calomel, and other often ineffective and sometimes harmful treatments. The author advocates for the use of pure air, proper diet, water, and exercise as the primary means for restoring health. Fundamental to the water cure is its focus on developing the body's ability to heal itself by encouraging vigorous circulation and respiration in order to increase the body's temperature. The author provides a series of protocols for applying cold water treatments, including instructions on temperature, application, and duration, for the treatment of specific ailments, with an emphasis on treatments for chronic conditions such as indigestion, constipation, and dropsy. The author stresses the importance of proper diet and exercise in conjunction with water treatments, and provides guidance on proper nutrition and exercise regimens. The book concludes by asserting that water cure treatments are safe and effective for nearly all ailments, and can be used to prevent and treat a wide range of chronic diseases. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
