    As an appendix to my remarks on the subject of empiricism, I trust that this brief enumeration of the medical writers, the cloud of witnesses who have c'.early testified from the earliest times in favor of Wa- ter-Treatment, may not be deemed out of place, or wholly without value. It would be easy to expand and extend the list, but I have not felt disposed to run the risk of thus wearying the reader—especially since a great deal of information about the ancient uses of water is to be gleaned from the popular works on Hy- dropathy.
