feverish thirst comes on. Prof. john

stomach often rises to one hundred and
four degrees. The young of all animals,
as we'll as children, crave pure cold
water. 1t will often stop the crying of

and would prevent the meal from swell
ing. Boil for ten minutes after the salt
has been added. Dish and take with
