Bodily Housekeeping
(BY v. M. PIERCE, M. d.

The subject of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood for a
hundred years.
In recent years investigation by means
of X-rays. the observations of scientists
such as Cannon, Grutzner, Pavlov, Fow-
Ter, Hawk, prove that an abundance of
water taken during digestion is neces-
sary in good bodily housekeeping. Drink
plenty of water with each meal. Do not
drink ice-water at any time.
If your kidneys are sick, or you
suffer with lumbago or rheumatism at
times, pain in the back or back of
the neck take little Anuric before
meals. This can be found at any good
drug store. Therefore my advice TO
young or old is, always drink plenty of
pure water. And for long life occa-
sionally take tablets Of Anuric three or
four times a day.
