ing large quantities of cold water,
when one is heated and thirsty, is iniu-
rious, and sh6uld not be allowed. But

less salt, butter, meat, fish, cake and
greasy food, they would not suffer SO
much with thirst, and there would tc
little occasion to complain Of the va

if more freely used in hot. weather,
would release the system from the need
Of go much water, md promote health.
