Neither av hydropathist, nor any other pathist, can make a person healthy, vigorous, and strong, no more than a minister can make his congregation pious and holy. Either may advise, direct, and instruct, but it is a personal matter to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest both physical and moral phenomena; the blessing must be earned before it can be enjoyed. And He is faithful who has ordained as well as promised ; He whose attributes are as conspicuous in his providential and preserving care of our physical bodies, as are his attributes of love, mercy, truth, and justice in the scheme of human redemption.
