A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Differing from all other works on hydrotherapy, this book is written by a general practitioner for the guidance of his colleagues. The following pages represent the observations of the author, who has labored in every branch of medicine, and who has gathered these data from a private and hospital practice extending over a third of a century, and more recently from special institution practice. The latter, extending over a period of seven years and furnishing the recorded details of over one hundred thousand hydriatic treatments, may be confidently offered as a trustworthy guide in the hydrotherapy of chronic diseases, while the former is regarded by the author as equally trustworthy as a guide in the management of acute diseases. It is not the purpose of the author to write a panegyric upon Hydrotherapy, but to discuss water as a remedial agent precisely as medicinal remedies are discussed in the text-books on therapeutics. The first part of the book deals with the physical properties of water and its mode of action in health; the laboratory experiments upon which the latter is based being freely discussed. The second part is devoted to the practice of hydrotherapy. The various methods of applying water in disease are minutely described and illustrated, the rationale of each procedure is discussed, and its special therapeutic indications are outlined. Having mastered the technical details, the reader is introduced to the practical application of hydrotherapy in acute and chronic diseases, in order to familiarize him with the flexibility of this potent remedial agent. The clinical histories which are added to this part of the book are specially commended to the attention of the reader, inasmuch as they illustrate pratically how different hydriatric procedures may be adapted to varying conditions of the patient and his malady.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
