Dr James Manby Gully was a Victorian medical doctor, well known for practising hydrotherapy, or the "water cure." Gully published The Water Cure in Chronic Disease, in 1846, describing the treatments available at his clinic in Malvern. The fame of the water-cure establishment grew, and Gully and Wilson became well-known national figures. Two more clinics were opened at Malvern. Famous patients included Charles Darwin, Charles Dickens, Thomas Carlyle, Florence Nightingale, Lord Tennyson and Samuel Wilberforce. With his fame he also attracted criticism: Sir Charles Hastings, a physician and founder of the British Medical Association, was a forthright critic of hydropathy, and Dr Gully in particula.
