"Every Man His Own Doctor" by R. T. Claridge is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. This work centers on hydropathy, often referred to as the "water cure," which is presented as a method for treating various ailments through the use of cold and tepid water, as well as certain therapeutic techniques. Claridge also touches upon the application of these treatments to animals, highlighting their broad relevance. The beginning of the book introduces the concept of hydropathy, emphasizing its historical roots and the author's personal experience in witnessing its efficacy. Claridge shares anecdotes about Vincent Priessnitz, a key figure in the development of hydropathic practices, detailing his early experiments with water as a healing agent and how he overcame public skepticism and opposition from the medical profession. The author sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the various treatments and philosophies underpinning hydropathy, underlining its perceived benefits over conventional medical practices.
