As stated above Woerishofen became the Mekka and Medina of those inflicted with incurable or chronic disease according to the opinion of their doctors. The number of patients grew constantly until 1891. During the first ten months of this year not less than 14,094 patients were cured by Kneipp. The following years show a decrease. In 1892 there were 12,175, in 1S93 10,839, in 1894 9988, in 1895 9884, in 1896 8881, and during the first 3 months of the year 1897 2192 patients in Woerishofen. This gradual decrease does not serve to prove that the public in general or suffering humanity had lost their faith and confidence in Kneipp and his methods. In the contrary it proves that Kneipp’s many disciples, the many students of his watercure, had spread all over the world to preach the gospel of nature and had been successful in healing the sick. Already in 1897 one would find Kneipp sanitaria and Kneipp physicians in every large city in Europe, consequently many thousands looked for and found successful treatment nearer to their home. A journey to Woerishofen was sought a necessity only in very serious cases. Kneipp is gone but his influence is still felt. To-day the physicians of the old school are forced to acknowledge the healing power of water just as much as years ago the engineers of the old school were forced to acknowledge the moving power of steam, water expanded by heat. Water, especially in the form of steam, has become one of the most useful servants of mankind, and water, cold, hot or in form of steam will soon be recognized by all—even by medical men—as the most effective healing power. Principally to Kneipp merit is due that this natural means of healing has become public property. i The New Orleans Kneipp Water Cure Institute, NEW ORLEANS, LA.
