To ALrAY THIRST. Many facts testify
the action of cutaneous or external alb
sorption. 1t is proved by direct expert
ment that the human hand is capable Of
imbibing, in quarter Of an hour, an
ounce and half Of warm water, which,
for the whole body, is al the rate Of six or
seven pounds per hour. An interesting
narrative is on record, of a ships crew,
who were exposed for several days in an
open boat they consumed all their water,
they nad no fluid Of any kind which they
could drink they soon began to suffer
from thirst the feeling at length became
intolcrable, and the drinking Of sea-water
was soon found to increase it to intensity.
When nearly exhausted, they were ex-
posed, during several hours, TO a heavy
shower Of rain. As soon as their clothes
became thoroughly wst their thirst began
to abate, and before the rain had ceased,
their thirst was gone. They did not fail
to profit by this experience. From this
time, each man, rs soon as he began to
feel thirsty, dipped his shirt in the sea-
water, and wore il next his skin, which
had invariable effect Of removing his
thirst, the absorbents taking up the parti-
cles Of water, rejecting tho saline matter
dissolved in it.
