THE VALUE or WATER AS A BEVERAGE

Solid and dry as the human body ap-
pears. water constitutes more than one
fourth of it's bulk, and all the functions
of life are really carried on i'm n water
bath, and, although the sense of thirst
may be trusted TO call for draught of
water, when required, the fluid can he
imbibed most advantageously for many
reasons besides merely satisfying thirst,
says the Household.
In the latter stage OF digestion, when
communication OF the mass is incom-
plete, II is much facilitated by a moder-
ate draught OF water, which disintegrates
and dissoIves the contents of the stom-
ach, fitting IL for emulgence and prepar-
ing it for assimilation.
The habit of drinking water In moder-
ate quantities between meals contributes
to health, and indicates the fact that
those who visit health resorts for the
purpose OF inbibing the waters OF miner
al springs might profit by staying at
home and drinking more water and less
whiskey Water Is the universal solvent
of nature and the chief agent In all
transformations of matter. When taken
into an empty stomach n soon begins To
pass out through the tissues by an os-
motto process into the circulation to liq-
uefy effete solids, whose excretion from
the system Is thus facilitated. Very few
peop,e think OF the necessity Of washing
the inside as we'll az the outside OF the
bodv. and he who would be perfectly
healthy should be as careful about the
cleanliness of his stomach as that OF his
