what they are pleased to term "old
age salts" Their belief has taken sucn
a hold that quite a large business has
grown up in the manufacture of house
hold stills for the diStillatiOn and the
simultaneous aeration of water. In
large scale and sold from house to
house, the belief being that it stays old
age decline greatly.
But, on the other hand, there are
eminent physicians and sanitarians
who declare that too much is claimed
for distilled water, and that it is freed by
the process of matter that should enter
into the composition of good drinking
water
The fact is that so much is written
and preached on all sides by chemists,
physicians and saMtarians concerning
the uses of water as a drink, and the
character of waters to be used . for
drinking, that there is a good deal Of
confusion in the lay mind about it. But
these general lines appear to be agreed
upon, namely, that drinking of ice wa
ter, save in small quantities and by SIP
ping, isinjurious. That rather free drink
ing of pure cool water is beneficial, and
that under some such conditions as de-
scribed by Health" the very free drink
ing of water is essential to good health
and has positive results in strong, bene-
ficial action by the organs of the body
Those who boast, and they are not few
by any means, that they seldom drink
water will find that the medical and
scientific world condemns their prac-
tlce, and that 1t is decidedly preferable
to drink much than to accusto tom
oneself to the drinking of very little
water
