HOT WATER As AN ELIXIR.
Hot water is the natural scavenger of the
body; those who persevere in drinking it will
find not merely the promised reduction of
obesity. but surprising clearness of the COM
plexion and feeling Of general regeneration. a
lightness of body and elasticity Of motion,
which they have not had since losing their
slenderness.
Professionals and travelling statesmen who
are continually on the road may urge that they
cannot take the hot water because they cannot
get 1t even at first-class hotels. But nearly all
bed rooms are supplied with gas, upon which
the water can be heated in five minutes One
should carry tin teapot or thin japanese cop
per kettle holding one pint, either of which can
be bought for % cents. and a brass or tin sup
port to screw on the gas jet. which may cost
from 10 to so cents, according to style.
The water should always be brought to

or shortly after meals. as such inhibition would
retard or impede digestion by diluting or
weaking the gastric juice. Nor must the patient
fall into the error OF surprising that cola water
will be as effcacious hot and thereby save
the trouble of heating it. Cold water drank in
excess is liable to produce weight and discom-
fort, collie and pain. 1t does not act on the
liver as hot water does. 1t depresses vitality,
and the heat of the body is lowered in the en-
deavor to raise the temperature Of the fluid to
that Of the blood, and this causes INJURIOUS eX-
pendlture OF nerve force.
JUST LITTLE PINCH OF SALT
The water should not be merely tepid, as that
