That cool refreshing drinks in warm
weather are delicious is undeniable. That
drinking ice water in copious draughts when
q person is overheated is injurious, not to
say dangerous. is also undeniabIe. But tina,
the free drinking of water in some form in
hot weather must be avoided, is deniable
and is one of the greatest popular errors ex-
tant. When person is perspiring freely
from every pore. q vast amount Of water is
drawn from the body, which must be re-
supplied or great injury is being done the
ply steal health, and the foundation of
some of the worst forms of kidney disease is
being slowly. but surely laid. Why! some
one will exclsim, that is just what caus Z
kidney troubles, drinking water freely which
contains so much lime. Wrong again 81
long ID. the water drank is freely carried
through the system. and converted in its
passage to the naturally acid reaction Of the
urine and preparation, 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 coplous
draughts of water chat most perfect Of all
known solulents,) same AS series of pipes
are flushed with water to clean them A
clean body is never diseased.
Do not drink ice cold water. but pure cool
water; q little lemon juice will improve the
effectiveness. Plain soda water With Il little
acid is also excellent. If from drinking too
much ice water you have stomach cramps,
or are "water-logged," as it is called, or are
attacked with Cholera Morbus, Summer
Complaint, Diarrh9a, or Dysentary. do not
resort to alcoholic stimulating drinks, which
irritate rather than soothe and allay the in
fammation which has caused the trouble but
adopt the practice of taking daily just before
retiring, during July and August. one tea
spoonful Of Johnson's. Anodyne Liniment in
little sweetened water, which will prevent
all such attacks and i'll effects from ice
water. In fact, a little pamphlet sent free
tie any one, by l. s. johnson Co Boston,
Mass, contains vast amount Of information
about treating those Summer troubles.

As you pass through Cave Hill cemetery,
along the avenue that runs just to the north
ward Of the public vaults, you will, perhaps,
see the grave of George d. Prentice. You
will doubtless be astonished to see it marked
by one Of the smallest and cheapest pieces Of
marble to be found in the cemetery. Near to
this grave are those Of Mrs. Prentice and Of
Clarence Prentice. the son Of George D.
mentioned this to a gentleman who was q
friend Of the great editor and poet and who
is familiar with the facts connected with the
closing years Of his life. He said:
For over fifteen years after Prentice's
death his grave was unmarked by any stone
whatever
Prentice died poor His last days were
passed in little furnished room in the yard
Of his son Clarence. who owned farm near
the country place Of the late DIR. Standiford,
on the Preston street road. His wife died
