Description

Excerpt from Life of Vincent Priessnitz, Founder of Hydropathy

Show that the practice Of water ablution, both for sanitary and religious purposes, existed amongst most ancient peoples.

Among the Jews bathing was enjoined by a code Of specific regulations, which served to secure personal cleanliness and to convey the idea Of moral purity. The association Of water with the cure of disease is illustrated by Elisha''s com mand to N aaman the Syrian to wash seven times in Jordan; by that of the Saviour to the blind man to go and wash in the pool Of Siloam and by the resort of the sick to the pool of Bethesda. Among the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, baths were in common use. Most Of us have heard Of the Greek gymnasia and the Roman therma, in which the plunge or affusion was largely employed as an invigorator of the body.
