The effects IN the way Of Hoods and wash

that the heaviest loss is that which can never

That cool refreshing drinks in warm

rinking ice water in copious drau2hts when

the free drinking of water in some form in
hot weather must be avoided, is denable,

tant. When person is persplriDg freely
from every pore, vast amount of water is
drawn from the body, vhich nsust be re-
supplied or great injury is being done the
physical health, and the foundation of
some of the worst forms of kidney disease is
being slowly. but surely laid. Why, some
one will exclaim, that is just what causes
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 in its
passage to the naturally acid reaction of the
urine and perspiration, no danger can occur
by deposits Of urea or lime in the kidneys
and bladder, because they remain perfectly
in solution, and are carried ont of the body
instead of remaining in it. Literally, they
are washed out of the body by the copous
draughts of water chat most perfect Of all
known sOlulents, same as series IF pipes

Do not drink ice cold water. but pure cool
