    OR THE EFFECTUAL CURE OF ACUTE AND CHRONIC DISEASES BY THE USE OF COLD WATER ONLY, \ WITH DIRECTIONS FOR ITS APPLICATION, AS PRACTISED BY THE INVENTOR, VINCENT PRIESSNITZ, OF GRAEFENBERG, IN SILESIA. ALSO, AN ACCOUNT OF THE EXTRAORDINARY CURES EFFECTED BY COLD WATER, ON UPWARDS OF 7,000 PERSONS OF ALL RANKS AND AGES, AT GRAEFENBERG, AND OTHER PLACES. “ The learned must now lay aside their science, the practitioner give up his connexion the apothecary throw his drugs to his dogs, for Nature has at last disclosed to a Moun- tain Peasant, and through him to the world, her great secret, which sages, philosophers physicians, and kings so long sought for in their alchymical studies. Thanks to Priess- mtz, who never heard of Galen or Hippocrates, we now know no other remedy than water, air, exercise, and diet. Our theory is now, for the first time, a written one. We require to feel no pulses, to examine no tongues; neither diagnostics nor prognostics are necessary.” HALIFAX: SOLD BY NICHOLSON AND WILSON, CIIEAPSIDE • WILSON AND CO., STANNARY; .T.
