WATER CURE.
Mr.. EDIroR:-Is it not somewhat
strange that man has explored all the
countries of the world, and dived into the
depths Of the sea, aud dug INTO the bowels
OF the earIh, and sought 10 search INTO all
OF natures arcaua of medicines where
with 10 cure his diseases. when simple,
powerful, plentiful, God-given medicine
flows ever at his feet! WATER, Mr..
Editor, is the panacea which shall cleanse
our land from It's disease and dehiement.
Whenever we produce thirst, we pro
duce a fever and a state OF disease, though
that disease may be and often Is slight
Now is Il not strange, that though we
continually disease ourselves, and as Often
resor, 10 Water for cure, that we cannot
take NATURES hint, and cure severe as well
as light disorders by this same invaluable
medicines
These may seem bold afir;na,ions, but
am borne out by facts; and hope to
see your Journal made vehicle for facts
ILLUSTRATIVE of the great truth that Water
is The uuirersaL medicine. l hope some
one more able than myself will speak
through your columns.

first person attacked. Ii was thought

the violence IF the disorder. He was de-

broad bandage wet in cold water was put
about his chest. He then slept, and by
giving him plenty OF water 10 drink, he re-
covered My daughter took The fever Of
her uncle, aud was treated in the same
way. She never wholly refrained from
play any day, and remained but five days
in the house. In mos: OF the cases

death vas the result. A year or Two al

of the too free use OF cream, was Seized
with fever. Abstinence from food and
constant bathing and drinking cold water
cured her in less than a week.
