and Western at the City.
Valdosta, Ga, June 5.-Tbe City Court
convened here this morning with large
criminal docket The first case called was
suit against the Savannah, Florida and
Western Road for $4,000. It was brought
by s. G. Lewis, who had a foot mashed
off at the depot here a year or so ago.
Owing to the absence Of an important
witness, the case was carried over. The
court will hold all of the week. Most of
the cases are of little interest to the pub
lie.
A negro named Dave johnson was
drowned while trying to swim in the blue
pool here to-day. The boy had hold of a
log and was floating, when he turned the
log loose and tried to swim TO the bank
He sank in twenty feet of water, and
was drowned before help could reach him

swarmed about the construction train here
to-day, and there was a general rejoicing
that Vadosta's new connection to deep

The probability of injury is increased when
the water is taken just before. or at. or
after a meal
Digestion ceases when the temperature
OF the stomach fails below % degrees and
when digestion ceases fermentation soon
begins and the stomach is distended by
gas.
Now when cold water is poured into the
stomach il chihs not only the stomach
itself but the solar plexus. a mass of
nerves behind the stomach. The shock
to these nerves affects them much as a
blow would. IL is carried through the
chain of nerves known as the sympat thetie
system into the brain. IL then passes into
the brain areas which control the heart
and respiration, and thence down through
the penumo- -gastrict nerves 10 the heart
itself, which receives the fun force of the
shock.
A douche of cold water in the stomach
may knock out weak man just as ef-
fectvely as Fitzsmmons knocked out Cor
bett with his famous "soar pleXus blow"
In persons suffering from intonse fatigue
such q blow Is sometimes fatal within
fifteen minutes, but Ia most cases there
is a partial or complete recovery. The
stomach however. does not fully resume
its digestive function, but It becomes warm
ana the mass of food in it begins to give
of gas. The heart is still fiuttering in
an effort to resume work but these ef-
forts are embarrassed in three ways.
The stomach distended by gas, presses
heavily upon the heart
The food remaining in the stomach irri-
tates the fine nervous flaments that ter
inmate in the walls of the stomach. This
irritation in turn, acting through the sym
pathetic system drains the nerve centers
in the brain of their force, and these CEN
ters fail to exert their influence upon the
heart, lungs and other organs.
At the same time the fermented food
sends it's evil properties into the blood.
The results vary according to the
amount of ice water imbibed and the con-
dltion of the victim. 1t may amount TO
nothing more than "a disagreeable feeling
of fullness in the stomach. on the other
hand the blow may be almost Immediately
fatal.
The patient may recover from the shock
after struggle. Or he may partially re-
cover, only to succumb to after effects.
Rules for Right Living.
I do not know the exact number OF
deaths which may be ascribed directly or
indirectly to ice water Ii is large But
to avoid the dangers, 1 would advise all
persons as follows:
Drink very little water at meal times.
Do not drink water with ice In it; but
only water that has been cooled in re-
frigerator.
Water may be taken with comparative
freedom when the temperature is not low
er than 40 degrees.
When the temperature is less than So
degrees 1t should be slipped slowly. A
gobletful might be safely imbibed in ten
minutes.
Six or eight goblets of wafer a day Is
enough, and it should be taken some time
before or after meals
Observance of these rules would prevent
a vast amount of sickness and a good
many deaths. Cyrus Edison.

THE FOLLY OF ICE WATER.
DIR. Cyrus Edison Lays Down Some
Rules for Hot Weather.
From the New York World.


The ice water season this year was open
ed by the death of former Gov. Roswell P.
Flower.
AS the summer advances the victims of
iced water are likely to drop off in increas-
ing numbers, and for every unfortunate
who succumbs in direct consequence of an
ice-water debauch hundreds win die of
ailments due TO the use of ice water.
DR.. Cyrus Edison has consented in the
following signed article to show drinkers
of ice water and eaters of ice cream the
risks they run.
The human stomach is shaped much
like a Roman lamp. Food enters at the
handle of the lamp and passes out where
the wick should be. Ordinarily Ii will
hold about a pint and half of food and
drink but II is easily distended, so that
a healthy person may take quart and n
half or two quarts of food without injury
In the case of beer drinkers the stomach
is often distended TO contain a gallon, but
when it is empty and in health it returns
to its natural size.
The inner coat Of the stomach is soft
and velvety and traversed by veins and
arteries. When food is taken into the
stomach it is moistened by gastric juices,
which exude from the walls, ana these
walls are agitated by a muscular move
ment directed by involuntary nerve forces
i'm the brain This movement kneads the
food, Incorporates it with the gastric
juices and so ii is digested.
Assume that a drinker Of iced water
swallow three half pints or quart of this
beverage while his stomach is empty-and
cod water is least dangerous at that time.
What Ice Water Does.
The arteries are contracted and the blood
driven from them into the veins Then
the veins are emptied and the blood passes
to the heart, so that the walls Of the
stomach are left bloodless and remain
so until the water in the stomach be-
comes heated. This is a slow process. as
any one will realize who has heated cold
water over a fire, and during all that
time the stomach has been deprived of
the nourishment which it should obtain
from the blood.
The stomach Usually recovers. but IL
the shock is repeated habituaIly the lack
of nourishment is also habitual Then the
coats Of The stomach lose their softness.
They grow thin, smooth and weak. They
lose their muscular power, and when once
distended do not contract again. but grow
haccd until the stomach Is no more than
thin bag.
W H'tN ei~ 1N''i'aSii "aS III Boou HcdItn
it had q certain muscular movement
which kneaded The food and so digested
IT. but in its relaxed condition it is mo-
tionless and the gastric juices nearly cease
to flow. The consequence is that there
Is little or no digestion and the food lies
IN the stomach until IT ferments.
In a word. it may be said that ice water
causes Indigestion, and indigestion causes
more diseases than it would be wise to
mention.
strength Is No Defense.
Strong men are less Iab.e to injury
from cold water than weaker men, but
even the strongest man man succumb.
This is the case with men exhausted by
heat, ovcrwork. or disease. Their power
Of resistance is slight, and ice water is
likely 10 have serious. even fatal results.
