seven years ago. Just before started
out 10 make long trip around the
african Continent He was drinking
distilled water then. and asked him
why he did so. He replied.
Il have found that distilled water
is sovereign cure FOR rheurnatisn
AT least as far as my own case is con-
with sclatica and was bedr!dden on
account OF Il. The doctors could not
hnd anything 10 relieve me. The At,
'ack came Just when ] was invest.
eating certain subjects relating 10 tho
deposits OF salts in the human sys
ten A weil-known scientist had
written book in which he said that
o!d age came from such deposits. and
that the Ills OF advancing years were
due to the lack OF their elimination
This man thought that when such de-
posts went TO the Joints man had
rheumatism. when they went TO the
kidneys he mad kidney trouble and
stones in the urinary organs. and when
they lodged in the arteries they pro-
duced what les called hardening Of the
arteries In the same way, when such
deposits coated the nerves they pro-
duced sciatica
at the same time ! had been study
Ing about the Dead Sea. the Great salt
Lake and other bodies OF water which
nave no outlets They are as YOU
know. all salt The Dead Sea is one
fourth salt and the Great Salt Lake Is
loaded with salt. Well. II occurred to
me that my body was much like the
Dead Sea. and that it needed less salt
coming In and plenty OF ways to get
the salt out l knew that distilled
water was pure. and with the free
perspiration always have / thought
that II j drank plenty OF It I might
get rid of some OF the salts which
were covering my sciatic nerves
tried drinking 1t, and II worked like
charm. Within a short time my
scatica left me, ana I have been free
from rheumatism from that day to
this. 1 have kept up my drinking OF
distilled water, and l attribute my al
most perfect health largely TO II. When
I a m in the city I get 1t at the regu-
lar water supply stores, and when
am Al Baddeck / have n little ten-dol-
lar still with which / make what I

referred to this talk last night
and then told Dr. Bell of my own ex-
pertences with distilled water, which
were the result or his story told
him how when I left for Africa ] had
been urged to drink nothing but min
eral waters, and how for the first four
months OF my trip did so. started
In at Gibraltar with drinking a we'll
known French mineral water. and kept
this up during my travels TO Morocco
Algeria, Tunisia and Tripoll The
water contained considerable salts. and
tho result was that when l got to
Egypt. my system was in a terrible
condition, and Went to a famous Cairo
doctor and asked him what was the
matter He replied that I had been
taking n too much salt through that
water and he advised me TO drink
only the juice of the Nile. I then told
him about DR. Bells theory. when he
replied:
"Dr. Bell is just right. Ali water
which passes through the earth has
more or less organic or inorganic sub
stances In 1t, and being already load
ed, II cannot take up the salts OF the
system. Distilled water is different.
1t is pure and 1t sucks up the salts
like sponge. 1t Is magnet which
draws the salts to 1t. and there is no
doubt but that 1t is good for rheuma-
tism."
To complete the story, when re-
turned home found one of my friends
afflicted with rheumatism, and per-
suaded him to try the cure. He did so
and within n few weeks he was well.
