THE HOT WATER CURE.
A writer in the New York Sun furnishes
that paper an account of the result OF the use
of hot water in the treatment Of consump.

of hot water. We extract as follows:

special attention to this hot-water cure, and
was using it with many patients. De saio:
There is nothing, you know, that 10 more
difficult than to introduce Q new remedy

very simple one. and strikes at the root OF
erroneous views and prejudices that have
long been entertained. The old school
practitioner have tried for years to cure
consumption but they are as far from doing
It a. ever.
Now, the only rational explanation OF
consumption il that it results from defective
nutrition. It is always accompanied by
malassimilation of food. In nearly every
case the stomach is the seat of fermenta-
ton which necessarily prevents proper d.
Restion. The first thing to do is to remove
that fermentation, and put the stomach into
q condition to receive food and dispose of it
properly. This il effected by taking water
into the stomach, a. hot Is can be borne, an
hour before each meal. This leaves the
stomach clean and pure, like q boiler that
has been washed out. Then put into the
stomach food that is in the highest degree
nutritious and the least disposed to fermen-
tation. No food answers this description
better than tender beet. A little stale bread
may be eaten with it. Drink nothing but
pure water, and as little of that at meals q
possible. Vegetables. pastry, sweets, tea,
coffee, and alcoholic liquors should DO
avoided. Put tender beef alone into clean
pure stomach three times a day, and the
systsm will be fortified and built up until
the wasting awaw, that il the chief feature
of consumption, ceases, and rscursrstion

This reasoning impressed me. I began BY
taking one cup of hot water an hour before
each meal, and gradually increased the
dose to three cups. At first It was I'm.
pleasant to take but now drink it with q
relish that never experienced in drinking
the choicest wine. I began to pick up i'm.
