Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a passionate argument against the prevailing medical practices of the 19th century, particularly the use of drugs. The author, a practitioner of "Hygienic medication," as it was known, argues that true healing lies within the body's own natural powers. He lays out a system based on the use of natural agents such as water, air, light, diet, and exercise to restore health. The book provides detailed instructions on various water-based treatments, including packs, baths, douches, and compresses, offering a detailed guide for readers to employ these techniques at home. The author also addresses the importance of diet, emphasizing the benefits of vegetarianism and providing recipes for wholesome bread, rolls, and other foods. Throughout the text, he refutes the prevailing medical theories of the time, citing the opinions of leading medical figures to bolster his arguments. The book is a powerful testament to the enduring belief that the body possesses an innate ability to heal itself, offering a compelling alternative to the often-harmful practices of traditional medicine in the 19th century.
