LOYAL WOMAN'S WORK
The Hot Water Care---0ar Experience
Meeting---Relief Corps Notes.


/ OF series of experiments by DIR. Salisbury upon
men and animals His experiments began with
various articles Of food and their detetic effect
upon thestomach, bowels and kidneys. and after
trying the whole range he reached the con-
ciasion that the principal cause of many dis
eases. and ailments was fermentation which
generated various gases and fluids resulting in
pain and disturbance of the digestive and other
1 organs He believed that this condition could
be corrected, without the use of drugs by the
water remedy only.
Cold water was first used but that gave his pa
tients great pain and distress-oten severe collie,
and he then began gradually to increase the
temperature of the wafer. Luke-warm water
made the men sick and worked upward instead
I of downward, the direction desired. Vomiting
In many cases resulted.
The temperature of the water was increased
to from 10 to 150 degrees. This brought
feeling of great relief, working downwards in
stead of upwards. carrying of the bile and fer
menting matters through the bowels. the proper
channel. Cold water depressed by abstracting
too much heat. Luke-warm water, besides
being unpalatable, excited nausea. Hot water
impaired heat. excited downward action of the
stomach and bowels stimulated natural secre-
tons checked fermentation, and, besides, was
in itself pleasant and palatable. By its use the
arrangement of all the organs was corrected,
and the change speedily indicated by the i'm
proved condition of the urine and other secre-
tions The value of hot water as a remedy was
thus scientifically fixed, and may be set down
as one OF the triumphs Of this progressive age.
Thee quantity of hot water to be taken for sick
headache Indigestion, collie, blllonsness, or
when suffering from any general arrangement
of the health, should not be less than half pint,
slipped slowly, four times day. 1t should be
drank slowly, so as not 10 oppress the stomach,
and to give time for absorption, which is very
rapid
The time Cor taking hot water, to secure the
best effects, should be from one to two hours
before meals, aud at bedtime. Use regularly
until the whole internal system is thoroughly
washed out, the digestive organs aroused to
healthy action, the color improved, and
healthy activity restored. This is a sure
| remedy for feyerishness, unnatural thirst for
spirits or iced drinks, and improves every
function Of the body.
The remedy is safe, pleasant, inexpensive,
within the reach of every one. Its cbeapness
and simplicity is all that stands in the way Of
It's general use as a panaeea for many of the ills
that flesh is heir to- 4 well-known medical
practitioner well says: " Most people. like Naa-
man in the olden times, desire to do some
great thing and are not willing simply TO
wash and be elean,h as the Syrian general was
directed by the prophet to do; and therefore
they prefer going to some mineral spring. TAX
! ing liver regulators bitters tonics purga-
tiyes. and many other things, which are often
injurious, seldom beneficial. and which have
net particle of authority or science to recon-
mend them as has the simple remedy of hot
water, which has been subjected to rigid
scientific experiments, and is indorsed by the
highest medical authority"
