Priessnitz's English biographer, Richard Metcalfe, notes that despite the fame of the Graefenberg setting, Priessnitz believed that the water-cure treatment was what provided his patients relief, not the locale. > :That Priessnitz was of this opinion appears from the fact that after his > fame had spread throughout Europe, and people came to Graefenberg from all > quarters, he did not confine his practice of hydropathy to that healthy > region, but visited and treated patients at their own homes in towns, where > similar success attended his manipulations. :There are some who would > stultify Priessnitz by making his saying, "Man muss Gebirge haben" (One must > have mountains), to mean that he considered a mountainous region > indispensable to the successful practice of hydropathy. But, as the facts > stated above show, the whole career of Priessnitz gives the lie to such a > notion.

The next day, in his review of HIStory, Jon Pareles of The New York Times alleged, "In ... 'They Don't Care About Us', he gives the lie to his entire catalogue of brotherhood anthems with a burst of anti-Semitism." On June 21, Patrick Macdonald of The Seattle Times criticized Jackson, stating, "He may have lived a sheltered life, but there really is no excuse for using terms like 'Jew me' and 'kike' in a pop song, unless you make it clear you are denouncing such terms, and do so in an artful way." Two days later, Jackson decided, despite the cost incurred, he would return to the studio and alter the offending wording on future copies of the album; "Jew me" and "Kike me" would be substituted with "do me" and "strike me".
