To show that superstition is not all dead
yet, the clerk of one of our hotels was re-

Drinking Ice Water.

That cool refreshing drinks in warm wealth
er are de lclOuS is undeniable. That DIR hiking
ice water in copious draughts when person
is overhcated is injurious, not TO say danger
GUS is also undeniable. But that the Tree
drinking OF water in Dme form in hot wealth
er must be avoided, is deniable, and is one of
the greatest popular errors eXtaut. When a
person is Derspirlng freely from every pore, a
vast amount of water is drawn from the body,
which must be re-supp led, or great injury is
being done the physical health, and thu foun-
datiou of some OF the worst forms OF Kidney
disease Is beng slowly, bat surrey laid. Why
someone viii exclaim. that is lust what 4uses
kidney troubles, drinking water freely which
contains so much lime. Wrong again so long
as the water drank IS freely carried through
the system, and converted u its passage to
the Naturally acid IT action of the urine and
perspiratlon, no danger can occur, by depos-
its of urea or me in the kidneys and bladder;
because they remain perfectly IN s luton,
OF remaining in it.. Literally they are
washed ut of the body, by the copous
drauvhts of water, chat mo perfect of
ali known solvents,) same as a seri' S OF pipes
are flushed" with water to clean them.
DO not drink ice cold water, but pure cool
water, a lit lie lemon juice Will improve its
effectiveness. Plain soda water with little
acid is also excellent.
If from drinking too much ice-water you
have stomach cramps, or are water logged
as II is called or are att iCked with
Cholera Morbus, Summer Complaint, Diar-
