Lemon-Water Better Than "Bluo
Pills"-Distilled Water Superior to
Boiled, Mineral and Filtered Wa
ter.
Pure water heads the list Water il
the only thing in the world that will
absolutely quench thirst. It IL one
thing to Stake thirst, quite another to
Quench it.
Water drinking, so important at all
times, is doubly 80 during the hot
weather. The human body 10 practi-
cally . sack: Of water. About 70 per
cent. Of tho body Is water in fact, the
body of the average man contains over
half barrel of water. You will read
lily appreciate its value when you con-
slider the fact that this water. in the
form of some 20 different fluids, is con-
stantly fluctuating back and forth
among the tissues, doing the work Of
tie body. II there is any deficiency.
then this work will necessarily suffer.
It is only when the supply Of water il
sufficient that the excretions of the
body can be properly carried OF.
How Much Water Is Requiredr
Two quarts of pure water daily 10
little enough for the average person in
ordinary weather, but in hot weather
this should be increased. This may be
done without any detriment whatever
Except in the drinking of iced-water
when overheated), but with beneficial
results. The greatly accelerated action
of the kidneys and skin is the best as
surance of the safety of the individual.
You should perspire freely, and then
drink freely that you may perspire. It
may be unpleasant, but it is not I'M
healthful. Perspiration is one Of the
bodys safety valves.
Fleshy people, as a rule, do not SUI
fer with neuralgia, and fleshy persons,
as rule, are great water drinkers. On
the other hand, the thin, spare, nerv-
Gus person drinks little or no water.
Neuralgia, headaches, pains Of various
kinds and degrees can almost invaria-
bly, be traced to an insufficient supply
Of moisture for the body's operations.
When the nerves are deprived of sufi-
cient nourishment they cry aloud, and
their cry we call pain. When the blood
(Which, of itself, is IT'S parts water) is
not sufficiently recuperated by the
drinking of enough liquids for the
body's welfare, it draws upon the sup
ply of fluid which the nerves them
selves require The result is that the
nerves are starving for lack OF mois-
ture, and while the person 50 afflicted
may appear to be only slightly anemic,
the trouble is increasing with the pass
ing of the years.
The drinking OF an abundance Of
water will prevent appendicitis. Why?
Because appendicitis is the result Of
constipation, and constipation Is the
result of insufficient bile, and INSULT
Client bile is the result of an insufficient
supply of liquids.
DR.. Parkyn ed. "Suggestion") very
aptly puts it thus: Bile is the natural
purgative of the human body and, in
health, it is formed in large quantities
daily. But the supply of bile depends
upon the quantity of liquids drunk; so
that, if a person drinks only half the
quantity required by the body, then
only half the normal quantity of bile
can be secreted and constipation devel-
ops to the same degree in which the 60
erection of bile is checked or dtmin-
ished."
Did 1t ever occur to you that 1t Is an
exception to find q laboring man that
has appendicitis? That Ia why it Ia
called a fashionable disease. The Ia
boring man can't afford it: he hasn't
time. But the fact is he perspires free
ly and drinks freely-of water.
Be Chary Of 1ce-Water.
The more you drink OF it, tho more
you will want. 1t ia thirst producer
instead of thirst-Quencher. II the ice
that is placed in the water were OF the
same water as that In which 1t 10
placed, the result of drinking so-called
ice-water would not be so detrimental
to the system, but the mixture of the
two kinds of water forms one of the
Objectionable features, even If both
waters were pure-which is not at all
likely.
Iced-water (water cooled by ice
without coming in contact with it, is
much more hygienic than the so-called
ice-water Gce and water. Properly
speaking, ice-water is melted ice). To
get the best results wouia suggest,
especially for the business man, that
and then place the bottle on ice or in
ice-water or in cool place and, to
secure better results, add to the water
the juice of two or more lemons Ito
