- Summary:
- Hydropathy, or the water-cure, became immediately popular when introduced in the late 1840s as an alternative therapy and flourished for two decades before losing their allure toward the end of the civil war. 'The Uses of Water' represents Kellogg's earliest effort to redeem the therapeutically valid parts of hydropathy, a therapy to which he would always adhere.
