WATER DRINKING.-Improper drinking of
water has killed thousands. There have 6een
instances where thirsty armies, after long
marches, have come to some river, when the
men would lie down on their faces and quaf
an inordinate quantity of water, with these
results: some died almost instantly. others
became crazy, and staggard like drunken
men. Avoid drinking water as much rs pos
sible while walking. When you feel thirsty,
rinse the mouth with water, but DO not swal-
low it, Drink only when resting Men. when
heated should not drink anything cold -
Drink slowly; half tumble of water will
suffice the thirstiest man, If he drinks by sips.
In fact, it is almost impossible to get down q
full glass of water taken in this way.
