Gold Drinks in Gold Weather,

There Is apract!ce against which many
persons need TO be pnt on their guard
namely, drinking cold water beverages
in cold weather, Cold drinks are de-
pressing in their influence, and the re-
suit of taking such draughts when
performing more than common fealS OF
strength and endurance, particularly in
middle age and advanced life, is TO
lower the tone Of the nerve ccnters at
time when it is most desirable that they
should be in exceptionally good working
order, so that they may retain the vital
ity necessary to meet the unusual need
The physiological effect of iced pota-
tons taken hastily when putting forth
special strength and making a peculiar
" large demand on the vital force OF the
nervous system, is either not understood
or Is forgotten, 1t Is desirable to point
out that the worst Illness may and does
proceed apparently from Insignificant
causes. This Is one Of the petty causes
which may lead TO sad results.
