The text focuses on the Czech Province of the Dominican Order roughly in the period of 1650 - 1721. It is based chiefly on two sources - the diaries of the provincials and the Rule of the Order. It aims at reconstruction of certain aspects of the life of the Order concerning health, illness and prevention. The paper pays attention mainly to two themes very well documented in the given sources: (a) visits of thermal baths/spas and (b) two last plague epidemics (1679-1681, 1713-1716)., Karel Černý., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
