New-York tribune., 1901-01-04
SALT NOT A CERE-ALL.

The usefulness of saline preparations in the
treatment of certain physical conditions was
widely recognized by the medical profession
years ago, but no doctor of sound mind believes
that any new elixir of lfe' has been discov-
cred in salt combinations or in anything else.
Who was the ancient cage who said. "One
mans meat is another mans poison? Various
salts may, Of course be beneficial to one pa
tient and injurious to another, but no sodium
compounds, chlordes phosphates will cure
everybody. General Pleasonton thought at
one time that he had found the true secret of
long life and the universal healer in exposure to
sunlight passing through blue glass. For sew
eral years in the seventies the blue glass craze
had a wonderful popularity in New-York and
other cities. and azure tinted windows and
glass rooms on roofs We're plentiful in the Muir
ray Hill quarter IF Manhattan. That delusion
died away. and all the experiments in stimulat-
ing motion in the hearts of dead turtles by salt
saturation will soon be forgotten.
The ablest physicians in this country and
everywhere else are always glad to test thor
oughly any new preparation which may help
their patients, and they certainly have no preju-
dices against any saline mixtures or amalga-
nations which may give promise of usefulness
But the average man or woman should not take
up an exclusive diet of corned beef and salt
