Benefits of Water.

In the New York Medical Record pr. s. A. Knopf of New York advocates a liberal use of water in the prevention and cure of tuberculosis He advances a plea for public baths for old and young and also for swimming pools in connection with the schools. He holds that a glass of clear, cool water taken half an hour before meals is the best appetizer and stimulant for the gastric secretions and that this is a gospel to be spread and practiced little more freely by the medical profession. He says: ''The money a municipality in vests in public baths, floating baths, seaside baths and swimming pools will give splendid returns in the saving of lives, directly and indirectly indirect ly, by making people clean physically and morally, by preventing disease through the cultivation of cleanliness and by making the people more vigor- ous and thus resistant to the invasion of disease; directly, by teaching every future citizen, man or woman, how to swim and to save his life in the evenE of accident
