Much is said for and against the practice, but the three pints day should be taken as regularly as you perform any other of your daily duties.
 The first glass of cool water taken upon arising is the most refreshing medicine you can find, and the last glass at bedtime will do much to rest the nerves and make the sleep quiet and restful. The other eight glasses can be taken to suit your convenience.
 The necessity for water drinking must be especially impressed upon the woman whose skin is dry and with a tendency to wrinkle, and the woman who has sallow skin or whose complexion is marred by moth patches should be equally generous in the amount of water taken into the system. In both these cases wonder ful improvement is sometimes brought about by the faithful following of the above directions and the complexion clears out, the yellow look disappears and the texture of the skin changes in a surprising way after few months devoted to the simple "water treat ment" described.
