Water-Cure for the Million.: The Process of Water-Cure Explained.

By: Trall, R. T.

From the Introduction.Hygienic medication -- commonly called Water-Cure, Hydropathy, Hygeopathy, or more properly Hygeio-Therapy -- is based on the fundamental principle that all curative virtue is inherent in the living organism; and that all that remedial agents can or should do, is to supply favorable conditions for the successful exertion of that power. Those conditions can never be supplied by the administration of drug-poisons, which are themselves incompatible with living structures, and which only cure (or rather change) one disease by producing another. They are only found in such materials and influences as the organism uses in its normal state; not in such things as it rejects. Food, water, air, light, temperature, exercise and rest, sleep, clothing, electricity, passional influences, etc., are necessary and useful to, and usable by, the living system, in its state of health; and they constitute, also, its proper materia medica in all its conditions of disease. \/So far from being a "one-ideaism" -- as many charge, who regard the system as literally a Water-cure, and cold water at that -- Hygienic medication embraces all the useful things in the world -- every curative agent in the universe. It adopts whatever nature appropriates, and discards only what nature rejects. The "one-idcaism" is all on the other side. The term may well be retorted upon those whose remedial agents are, whatever nature abhors and rebels against, and whose only idea of a medicine is an animal, vegetable, or mineral poison.The system of the healing art which I advocate and practice, not only repudiates all the remedies of the drug schools, but denies the philosophy on which their employment is predicated. It charges their practice with being destructive, and their theory with being false. It ignores all the fundamental premises of all drug-medical systems, and declares the truth to be the exact contrary of what they teach., To illustrate: it is taught in all of their books and schools, that usmre has provided remedies for diseases in the things outside of the domain of organic life. The truth is exactly the contrary. Nature has provided penalties -- and among them sickness -- as the consequences of disobedience to organic law; but she has not provided remedies to do away the penalties ....
