Drinking Water.


water passes away, or the system would
suffer. AS il is, the strain affects it.
The skin, the kidneys, bowels lungs,
are all drawn upon. The result is, as
Fmay be naturally expected, exhaustion.
For this reason, the man who drinks
much water, particularly in the sum
ner, and in the hottest weather, is less
able to endure fatigue. The water is of
no benefit to him-that is the excess.
I 1t must pass away, and this requires an
effort of the system, which is the
sweating process. Had he not used
the excess of water he should not have
perspired so; it would not have been
there for the system to eXpel. 1t is a
habit to drink wafer SO mich; a false
thirst is created. We should drink
only what is needed. The habit of
drinking more, will sOoa be overcome,
and the person will feel much stronger,
and more capable Of bearing fatigue.

Those rosy cheeks and ruddy lips are
blanched By Consumption. The voice
once SO enchanting in laugh and song is
feeble, husky and supplanted by hol-
low cough. Let us approach her couch
gently and take her hand. Do not
shudder because of the feeble and pas
sionless grasp The hand once SO
hearty and plump is emaciated and
shows bony outlines, while the cords
and tcrtuous veins are plainly mapped
upon the surface. The pulse that
bounded with repletion, carrying vigor
to the whole system and inipartipg life,
beauty, vivacity, health and strength,
is delicate to Che touch. The feeble
heart can not propel the thin, scanty
blood with force. Must We loose her
while yet IN her teens? Companions
and friends gather around with words
of cheer and consolation and depart
with mOistened eyes and silent steps?
Must we lose her? No! there is relief
