Especially as there is a known medieval balneological text which
mentions
exactly these organs, including the fact that the intestines are being
washed, and that the owner of the male sexual organs is troubled by
'stone' (note the dust, partly hidden by the clamp holding the page in
the Yale copyflo). All these things could be cured by the water of one
particular spring or bath. To me this makes perfect sense.
