4to. (25 cm.) 26p. plus 6p. ads. Stapled booklet in stiff green photo pictorial wrappers printed in black and with a large black and white photo of Benedict Lust on the front panel and a small black and white photo of Lust as an older man on the back panel along with a black and white photo of the American School of Naturopathy and American School of Chiropractic. The inside of the front panel has a black and white photo of "Yungborn" Dr. Lust's Recreation Resort in Butler, NJ and the inside of the back panel has a black and white photo of Dr. Lust's Health Resort, Tangerine, FL. Both the title page and the front panel have the notation "Lesson One." Very minor wear to extremities, staples missing with small rust stains around where they were (no pages missing), slight darkening around the edges of the wrappers, corners square and flat, else very good to near fine with no internal markings. Benedict Lust [1872-1945] was the popularizer of the Father Kneipp water cure in America and the founder of the American School of Naturopathy. In one of the ads at the rear of this booklet, Dr. Lust identifies himself as "Kneipp Physician". As far as I can tell no more “lessons” were published. Naturopaths in America accepted the cold water cure, a distinct healing system not derived from the European mineral bath spa experience. Although this hydropathic cure was introduced to America by others, it was Benedict Lust who built on the rich tradition of hydropathy, entrusted to him by Father Kneipp, when he brought the Kneipp Water Cure Monthly [magazine] to America in 1900. The front-page subhead proclaimed it “A Magazine devoted to the late Rev.Father Kneipp’s Method and Kindred Natural Systems.” Lust, who served as the editor and manager of the magazine, articulated the basic tenets of obedience to nature’s laws with his “Return to Nature” system of hydrotherapy. Lust also saw sharp social-class distinctions among those practicing water cure versus those seeking allopathic expertise. Lust wrote that water cure was the science of healing for the plain and poor people. The rich, he believed, were perpetually dependent on their doctors to cure their sequential illnesses. Water, the poor man’s treatment, relieved him of pain and drugs, improved and cleansed his system, and gave him greater strength when he followed the simple rules of natural healing. Lust went on to build a huge publishing empire, as well as a string of health resorts, to spread the practice of the Kneipp water cure mehtod. AS founder and first president of The American Naturopathic Association, Lust did more, perhaps, than any other, to establish the legitimacy of naturopathy and naturopathic treatment.…
