Avant 1848, l´hydrothérapie était utilisée exclusivement sous la forme d'immersion en eau froide au Mexique. La première installation des douches thérapeutiques à l1Hôpital Militaire de la ville de Mexico est décrite en 1869. Environ ces dates, une partie des facilités - parmi eux les bains - de l'asile de San Hipólito, l'hôpital psychiatrique principal, ont été modernisées. Vers la fin du siècle, La Castañeda, un hôpital psychiatrique nouveau et bien équipé a été construit. Ces plans ont été fondés sur les suggestions du 5ème Asile sur Seine. Selon les commissions, chaque pavillon consistait d'une surface de 730 mètres carrés et avait une piscine, des douches, des salles de massage et de pédiluve. Quelques maladies traitées par des méthodes d'hydrothérapie étaient la clorose, l'hypocondrie, la manie, la mélancolie, épilepsie et la paralysie.(AU)

L'éclaircissement apporte la nouvelle manière ouverte pour comprendre l'action d'homme au-dessus du monde et à son propre corps, une attitude différente, recherchant la compréhension de la nature et de la connaissance des lois normales et s'appliquant à lui la raison humaine. L'innovation la plus importante était le retour à l'utilisation des bains médicinaux. Au Mexique une tradition indigène antique avait été maintenue et des bains de vapeur à l'intérieur de petits bâtiments équipés de double mur. Ceux ont été prescrits aux personnes convalescentes, femmes enceintes et également dans différents genres de maladies. Des bains thermiques ont été ouverts et différentes caractéristiques ont été autorisées pour offrir une vraie variété de bains médicinaux aux personnes intéressées et aux praticiens innovateurs.(AU)

Narra a história de Poços de Caldas, privilegiando não a ordem dos fatos, mas a ordem dos significados a que eles dão acesso. Começa expondo o que é preciso conhecer historicamente sobre as águas termais dos campos de Caldas e logo efetua a conexão com as atividadese econômicas da pecuária, base desde o começo do século XIX da ocupação daquele espaço pelos latifundiários ( que mais tarde passaram para o café). Daí, parte para o nível social das organizações familiares, estudando a formação de grupos articulados pela endogmia e os pactos de interesse.

It explores attempts by French colonial doctors in Guadeloupe to treat tropical pathologies with water and altitude cures, between the seventeenth and twentieth centuries. Assuming that high morbidity rates in the Caribbean were caused by the area`s inherent "toxicity", Europeans turned to mineral water and high-altitude spas, both for the reinvigoration of settlers and to "season" new arrivals. Guadeloupean spas, though utilized by indigenous, black, creole, and white Guadeloupeans alike, soon emerged as replicas of France in the tropics, and served the socio-medical function of immersing the colonial body in familiar waters. The French obsession with "healthful space" led to the creation of an "administrative" quarter precisely in the region of Guadeloupe s spas around Basse-Terre (actually the highest part of the island). The arrival of germ theory in the nineteenth century did not fundamentally alter the rationale for water and altitude cures in Guadeloupe. Tracing the history of these "folk-cures" - often admonished by colonial doctors as "common sense", but in reality an integral part of the tropical medical canon - sheds light on some of the underlying dynamics, tensions, and continuities of French imperial medicine.

This article explores attempts by French colonial doctors in Guadeloupe to treat tropical pathologies with water and altitude cures, between the seventeenth and twentieth centuries.
