of man says a physician in the Boston
| Herald. 1t promotes health in various
ways. Many of the functions of the body
go on better after its influence, and with
out it the blood becomes impoverished.

harmful. In large doses it acts as an
emetic IN quantities beyond the require.

and intestines and sometimes purges
Those who use salt unusually freely almost
always suffer more Or less from constipa-
ton.
| To drink large quantities of water daily
should be the rule with those who suffer
from constipation. Each day the system
needs at least two quarts of water, as about
that quantity is used up or thrown out of

vegetable foods contain much water, and
IN tea, coffee soup, etc, considerable is
taken habitually. In all ways, as stated,
about two quarts of water should enter
the stomach daily. l. is d good plan to
drink one or two glasses of water from
half an hour to an hour before eating
breakfast. And it may be either hot or
cold as preferred. Whichever is used, the
water should be slowly slipped. To deluge
! the stomach with cold water would be to
invite dyspeptic troubles.
