Tar water was a medicine used since the Middle Ages composed of pine or birch tar. Its use spread in 18th-century England. Berkeley describes for the first time its use in a wide variety of cases and wonders whether it might not be the universal panacea. He extrapolates as to its efficacy from a study of mind and soul of which ether would be the divine instrument and the thing that binds beings together. Tar water would be used in various forms until the end of the 19th century. Bergson particularly appreciated the philosophical qualities of the treatise. Chez Pierre Mortier unknown

17461203210002London : Dublin printed London re-printed for W. Innys C. Hitch and M. Cooper in Paternoster-Row; and C. Davis in Holborn 1746. Hardcover. Very Good. Octavo. 192 pp. Modern brown leather gilt raised bands black leather spine label. Fine binding. Minor toning scattered spotting. <br><br> George Berkeley published Siris Philosophical Reflexions and inquiries concerning the virtues of tar-water and divers other subjects connected together and arising from one another. The early 1740's were a period of famine and epidemic in Ireland and there were no physicians in Berkeley's diocese. Berkeley took it upon himself to do what he could for the sick and settled upon tar-water as the best malady for the various ailments that he treated. Berkeley prepared tar-water by mixing pine tar with water allowing it to settle and then draining off the clear fluid for medicinal use. Siris which starts with a discussion of the virtues of tar-water for curing most diseases was the most popular of his books during his lifetime. It was widely read on the continent and in America and quickly went through several editions. Most of its readers however read it for its medical discussions and ignored the main subject of the book a chain of philosophical reflections that start with tar and end with the Trinity. In Siris Berkeley restated many of the tenets of the immaterialism of his youth but mixed them with even more speculative ideas drawing heavily on classical works. The end result is the most difficult of Berkeley's works to read although one with significant philosophical content. Subject; Hydrotherapy. [London] : Dublin printed, London re-printed, for W.
