Although DR.. Meurissc admits there may have

die appendicitis, the fact that they drank water
exclusively with their meals while the we'll mem

DOUBT whether water drinking is the beneficial

OF the matter is taken by DIR. ]. Gagey who has
written book entitled Appendicitis and Water
Drinking" and by DR.. Doloris. of the French
Academy Of Medicine, who some time ago ex-
pressed the belief that from hyglenic standpoint
light wine with our meals is far better than
water.
Pure water, says DR.. Meurisse, contains in it
self nothing which does us harm. Whatever dam

h-T1HE practise OF drinking only water at
meals has become very general even in
70 European countries, whore formerly wine,
beer or some other mild alcoholic beverage used
10 be taken. y few water drinkers really prefer
the taste of water, Tut most of those who make IL
their only beverage do so because they believe it
aids digestion and in other ways promotes good
health
Until lately nobody has ever questioned the
wisdom of drinking water. When pure and not
too cold it has always been thought it could be
taken even in large quantities without any i'll
effects. But Dr.. Fl. Neurissc, of Paris, and
several other eminent French physicians ad-
vance the surprising theory that water drinking
is one cause OF appendicitis, and perhaps OF other
Diseases and that should ali be better off If
we drank cider, beer, light wine or termcnted
milk instead
Dr.. Meurisse Is much impressed with the sig
niicanCe of number OF facts regarding append
cius recently submitted to the Paris Medical So
