Two vols. in one. viii, 460, [4]; 503, [1] pp. With over 100 text woodcut-engraved illustrations. Embossed black publisher's pebbled cloth, gilt lettering on spine (rubbing & edgewear, wear to corners, minor soiling to upper fore-edge), still a VG- copy, w/ ownership signature of Mary A. Cole on endpapers. Later printing of this ever popular work by Trall on the water cure, or hydropathy. Trall and the other hydropathic adherents believed that many impurities, including those produced from within the body, were removed from the body through their treatments. This work encompasses diet, exercise, sleep habits, midwifery, pediatrics, and more, which all could be treated by cleansing the body. In addition, the movement firmly believed that drugs poisoned the natural systems of the bodies of patients and caused greater harm. This work was published in many different editions, many with the same copyright, and in this case Fowler & Wells had moved to the East 21st Address by the 1890s according to their periodicals, advertisements, and publisher's notices.
