went to The Bronx, where he has been
living alone since then. Mr.. Elrose

him and get him to come home. Mean

WATER CURE URGED
FOR CONSERVATIVES
DIR. knott Also Advocates
Swimming Pools for the
Public Schools.
SPRAY BATHS FAVORED

Dr. s. Adolphus Knopf, professor Of
medicine In the department of phthisio-
therapy. New York Post Graduate Med
ical School and Hospital, makes n plea
FOR public baths for young and old and
swimming pools, particularly in connec-
ton with public schools, in an article
on Water in the Prevention and Cure
or tuberculosis" which appears in the
current number OF theMedtcai Record.
AS "A matter of routine" DR.. Knopf
says. II invariably ask the new patient
how much water he drinks daily most
frequently the answer liz, 4 drink very
little When the patient IL taken under
treatment and urged to drink from six
to eight glasses of water between meal
times and even small quantities with his
meals, II is surprising to notice how
quickly nearly all the symptoms, such ms
nigh temperature, headaches. malaise
and anorexia disappear, and even the
cough becomes better.
"Of course the explanation for this i'm
rrovement lies In the fact that with in
creased ingestion of water the toxins
sccreted by the tubercle bacilli rs we'll
as the toxins from an overloaded in
tostinal tract become largely diluted.
The increased amount OF water ingested
also helps to make the sputum less tena-
cious. This bencficent action of water
on cough and expectoration can be ma
~terially increased by urging the patient
10 take an abundance OF salt with his
meals.
The value of the internal use of wa
ter is as great In the predisposed "a in
the typical tuberculous invalid. but there
Is perhaps no remedy OF such estimable
value to overcome physiological poverty
This definition of predisposition to tu-
~berculosis, either inherited or acquired
as the external use OF cold water. We
know OF course that the mechanical and
thermic s~timulations Of the skin are re-
sponsible for the effect of cold water
C75 to 60 degrees) on the normal sys.
tenn we know that even the exposure OF
the body to cold air brings about the
same stimulating effect through mn In
crease OF oxygen consumption in proper
ton TO the intensity OF the cold. The
