Excerpt from The Invalid's Guide to the Virginia Hot Springs: Containing an Account of the Medical Properties of These Waters
The suspicious and censorious, who are seldom backward in tendering a disinterested and kind cau tion, have succeeded in satisfying many that I am an unsafe adviser as to the proper method of using these baths. They urge, that I own the boarding establish ment, and am interested in keeping the visiters here as long as possible, and if permitted, would advise and influence them accordingly. But this certainly is a most perverted view of the subject. If I could and were so to direct them as to render them nuga tory, no cures could be effected - they would soon lose their reputation and as property become value less. And, on the other hand, one case manifestly injured, might keep away more persons than ten cures would attract to them; and if the owner was the veriest knave in Christendom, his pecuniary ih terest would oblige him to advise that application of the waters, which in his judgment would cflect the speediest cure. So the invalid may see at the first glance, that he has a guarantee against intentional mal-advice on the part of the owner, which he can not possibly have on the part of any one else.
