Abstract: '"Take me to the river" Water Cures in the twentieth century'
Water in the twentieth century, as in the nineteenth, played a
fundamental role in both medical and popular cultures of health. From
the persistence of homeopathy to the emergence of hydration therapies
and 'health for all', water flows through twentieth century medical
thought, domestic and professional. This lecture will explore the
therapeutic uses of water in the home, the hospital, and the health
campaign from the dawn of the twentieth century to the present.
