Confessions Of A Water Patient 1847 PDF Download

Excerpt from Confessions of a Water-Patient, 1847: In a Letter to W. Harrison Ainsworth, Esq. Editor of the New Monthly Magazine The following is one of the many cases I witnessed when at Doctor Wilson's establishment, showing how much may be done by a scientific application of the water treatment. It is that of a lady, who had had the lower limbs palsied for nine years, and who could, at the time I saw and conversed with her, walk well - and walk far. This case was the more striking, and I have selected it more particularly, because the cure was effected without the aid of those adjuncts of air or exercise, in which some sceptics are inclined to place the whole benefit which hydropathic treatment confers. For the patient had recovered the use of her - limbs, and was enabled to walk without assistance, before she had once-quitted the two rooms which, for nearly six months, formed the magic limit of the cure. And I confess that I scarce know which to envy most, the delight of this grateful patient at her restoration or the pleasure and honest pride of Doctor Wilson, in so signal a service to humanity, and so undeniable a trophy of his skill.
