Your Case is most essentially different from that of one whose system, nerves, & spinal energies were worn out & destroyed by gluttony, dissipation, and debauchery. For such an one the disease & decay must be arrested, if at all by the Doctors & their most violent remedies. Yours as an injury required simply a chance for nature to get over the injury. Her recuperative energies, if not continually thwarted are great and ever sufficient. Your object then in a course of treatment is simply to recover from the effects of what you by bad remedies have done . Of course the Water Cure is the thing.
