Mary Gove (later Nichols) "is best known as a promoter of hydropathy—the use of water-cures, cold baths, and vegetarianism to cure illness. She edited the Health Journal and Advocate of Physiological Reform in 1840, and lectured widely on woman’s hygiene, physiology, and anatomy. In 1845 she founded a water-cure establishment in New York City and also began writing magazine articles and, under the pen name Mary Orme, fiction" (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Mary-Gove-Nichols).
