Synopsis

Excerpt from My Water-Cure: Tested for More Than 35 Years and Published for the Cure of Diseases and the Preservation of Health Being a priest, the salvation of immortal souls is the first object for which I wish to live and to die. During the last 30 or 40 years, however, the care for mortal bodies has absorbed a considerable portion of my time and my strength. This work I have never sought after; on the contrary every patient coming to me is (naturally speaking) a burden to me. Only the thought of Him who came down from Heaven to heal all our infirmities, and the remembrance of His promise: "Blessed are the merciful; for they will obtain mercy," - and: "Even a cup of cold water given in My name shall not be unrewarded," was able to detain me from refusing every petition, no matter who the petitioner might be. The temptation to do so was the more natural, because not profit, but incalculable loss of time, not honour, but often calumny and persecution, not gratitude, but in many cases ingratitude, scorn and insults, were my reward. But God allowed it to be so, and I shall not complain of it. It is easy to be understood that after such precedences I feel not much inclined to write, especially now that I am feeling the oppression of old age, and both mind and body long for rest.
