Dr.. Brady's Health Talks
Drink, Ent and Tie Merry

Since theory was first applied In ply
siology and hygiene 1t has been taught
That the drinking of cold water Just
before eating should be avoided, .bc-
cause. theoretically, II would tend to
dilute the gastric juice and so inter-
ferc with digestion.
or late some progressive hygienists
have Ncntured to suggest that such is
really not the case, but that water
should be taken before or in tho course
of meals as an aid to good digestion
Here are two directly opposite ideas
When the doctors disagree what shall
we do?
Well. for one thing, we might con-
slider the whole question and see where
we shall land.
Cold Water Helps Digestion.
Experimental data collected by Hawk
ana others, on man and animals, failed
to show any Impairment of digestion
from the drinking OF abundant water
Mt meal time. Hawk believes that
water drinking should be urged upon
those with weak digestion. He found
that cold water stimulates the flow OF
gastric juice in the stomach. And this
| Increased flow of gastric juice contains
han the juice sccreted before the wa
ter is taken.
| Carlson, Orr and Brinkman, physio-
loEists, have confirmed this fact ex-
lperimentally. Bergeim, Rehfuss and
Hawk assert that warm water or cold
water, natural or distilled is n very
strong stimulant to the function Of the
stomach. AS little an three tablespoon
fuls Of water taken twenty minutes
before n meal will show pronounced
effect upon the secretion OF gastric
