person who has eaten full meal, and whose

will lower the temperature of his stomach

To all persons, when they arise in the

monitor TO restore to the system its loss,

tbs system with more facility.
From one 10 six glasses, or even more,
BY early risers may be drank before break
fast; bu. always with an interval Of some
minutes between each glass, which may be
occupied in moderate walking. No water
should be drunk for al leas. half an hour
before ealing; for the temperature of the
stomach, being lowered by the cold, should
have time 10 regain its natural heat, before
il commences the labor of digestion. Some
two hours after eating, half glass of cool
wafer may be beneficial; but no quantity
should be taken until the digestive process
be nearly, or quite completed. From elev-
en- O'Clock till an h our before dinner, the
wafer may be used solerably freely, If moth
