Why SALT is HEALTHY.-From time
immemorial il has been known that with
ont salt man would miserably perish :;
and among the horrible punishments
entailing certain death, that of feeding
culprits on sallless food is said to have
prevailed in ban barous times-maggotts
and corruption are spoken of by same
writer's as the distressing symptoms
which salt less food engenders hut no
anciet or unchemical modern could cx-
plain how such sufftrings arose. Now we
know how the animal Graves salt, why it
suffers discomfort, and whyi ultimate
ly falls into disease if salt is for atime
withheld. Upward of half the saline
matter of the blood-fifty per cent
consists of common salt; and as this
is partly discharged every day through
the skin and kidneys, the necessity of
continued supplies oft to the healthy
body becomes sufficiently obvious.
The bile also contains soda as special
and Indispensable constituent, and SO
do all the carriages ofthe body. Stint
the supply of salt, therefore, and Meth r
will the bile be able properly to ASST t
the digestion, nor the carriages to be
built again as they naturally waste.

the patient persevered in them for reasonable
length of time, they have effected cure in ever,
