DEAR SIR: Having for period Of many years
becn deeply interested ia the progress Of PhysolO-
rical Reform and Water Cure | cannot but regard
ANY thing affecting it for good or evil, as OF great
moment DR. Wessehocs communication in your
paper short time since IN some respects, conveys
wrong impression to those who know nothing OF
Water Cure inasmuch II ntimatcs that
Water Cure cannot be praciced only at Bra,tlc.
boro or some like establishment, whereas we have
proof positive in hundreds of cases IN this country
that Water Cure has been practiscd under the
worst circumstances with great success-and III
cases given up by the doscrs and druggers as hope
less Recently | was called TO a case OF numb
palsy-the symptoms were quite aldrInlng-aud
though the conditions for the application of Water
Cure were not by any means what they are AT
Brauleboro' still the case was treated hydropathi
cally the symptoms were subducd and the patient
soon relieved SO in large number of other cases
which | might detail as evidence that w alter Cure
can be administered and practsed by people at home
A. well A. al Water Cure establishment. IL IL true that
a Water Cure establishment may offer the best cOnci
tions-but this should deter people from practising
Water Cure under the u0rsf conditions. FOR under Tie
most uniavorablc circumstances Water Cure may be
practsed with greater success than any system Of mcd
cine or dnggng Wai,r Cure is for the Proprietor Ihc
rho!s Peopt--and mol merely for lew wealthy ndl.

Of an inferior quality, imprcnsicd with mineral sub
stances may Ice used With far less injury and greater
success than drugs Of any description In the millions
OF cases OF sudden attack we cannot remove the pa.
depts three or four hundred miles to Water Cure
esabishment-bu must use the best means that offer al
the patients residence affirm. without fear of proof
The contrary tina, Water Cure Is the best curative sys
tenn under the worst circumstances, ever Known Tn.
QuestiOnaly there patients who cannot be radically
cured only the very best conditions but those persons
may be srtafy reered by the OF water in the wors,
conditions
Dr. " intmaics that people cannot have n douche
bath at homc-an insuTmouniable obstacle he thinks.
But # people cannot do better let them put mp barrel
or half barrel that II will be some four SIX feet above
the head you cannot put u higher and put two inch
faucet the bottom and nl II with the coolest and best
water YOU can get But If we get the TO use
the shower bath and other simple applications.
will wait awhile I'LL some one invcn,s convenient family
douchc have IA progress simple force pump appF
rstus. which will meet this want in every house. In
New-Nork and Philadelphia nothing but piece Of pipe
Is required TO carry water where and any hight you
choose without the pump.
Doct W iniinaies that he hns searched the land over
for pure water and has found but place where Water
Cure be pracisod and that Is at Bra,ileboro VI
This the case then adicu 10 all hope OF its future
fulncss 10 the people But the Doctor i mistaken
time will prove

Of Water Cure, use little common sense, and begin u
practice where he Il fl be in the condition.
