Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A water cure is a course of medical treatment by hydrotherapy. While the sense of water as a form of torture is documented back to at least the 15th century, the first use of the term water cure as a torture is indirectly dated to around 1898, by U.S. soldiers in the Spanish-American war, after the term had been introduced to America in the mid-1800s in the therapeutic sense, which was in widespread use. Indeed, while the torture sense of the term water cure was by 1900-1902 established in the American army, with a conscious sense of irony, this sense was not in widespread use. Webster''s 1913 dictionary cited only the therapeutic sense, water cure being synonymous with hydropathy, the term by which hydrotherapy was known in the 1800s and early 1900s.
