Whatever opinion may be formed in regard TO
the merits of Hydropathy as curative system,
there id no doubt of the general interest and favor
with which the writings OFF: professors have been
received by the great MAS Of readers IN this coan'
hv This may be accounted for in part by the Elm
nlicity of STYLE and the tone OF plain practical
common sense, with which most Of these produc
tons are pretty strongly marked. Vhey have more
the air OF actual, household life-thsy take more
direct hold Of the varioua acnes and Palnf when
are every day met with-and they aim more e1-
clusvely at showing the invalid the best means oil
procuring relief for his suherings, than the
generality of medical works which are written for
the professional student and which SAVIOR OF she hos
ptal, the diaaecting-room and poat.lnortem exam
instiong-the significant close Of the series OF fash
jonable methods of medical education. The w ater-
Cure publications, moreover, are usually full and
explicit in regard to the means preserving health
they abound in valuable suggestions concerning
diet regimen, exercise, the government OF the
passions, and the regulation Of she habl's-presens-
ing great fund OF advice, which commends itself
by it's painness and availability to those who have
neither leisure nor inclination TO peruse the more
pretending treatises of the old-school professors
The issue of the "Watcr Cure Library by

often OF character to cal forth dissent, from
advocates of rbysioogics reform, but they are sus
