This work examines the efficacy of the Turkish bath and contrasts it with traditional allopathic medical practices, particularly the use of drugs. The primary focus is on promoting a better understanding of hygiene and the therapeutic benefits of hydrotherapy as opposed to conventional medicinal treatments. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage by articulating the growing skepticism towards drug medications even among medical professionals. He supports this viewpoint with various authoritative quotes highlighting the shortcomings of allopathic medicine. This serves as a preamble to advocating for hydropathy and the Turkish bath as superior alternatives for health restoration. The opening also emphasizes the experiences of patients who have benefited from these natural treatments, laying the groundwork for a deeper exploration of hydropathy and the mechanics of the Turkish bath, which is later elaborated in the text.
