"The Uses of Water in Health and Disease" by J.H. Kellogg is a scientific treatise written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the therapeutic applications of water for both healing and hygiene, aiming to elucidate the physiological effects and historical context of water-based remedies. Kellogg addresses common misconceptions surrounding hydrotherapy and presents a structured exploration of water’s roles as a remedy, preventative measure, and essential element in human health. The opening of the book provides an overview of the multifaceted properties of water and its significance to health, establishing a foundation for understanding its use in medical contexts. Kellogg critiques the exaggerated claims found in previous works on hydropathy, positioning his treatise as a reliable source of information. He outlines the objectives of his work, which includes a scientific assessment of water's physiological roles, an examination of its historical applications in medicine, and a practical guide for its usage. This introduction emphasizes water's critical role in cleansing, hydration, and maintaining bodily functions, setting the stage for a detailed discussion of its uses throughout the treatise.
