SECRETS OF

In the first place, we insist
very largely of water.
In the next place, we |, z, on
the average, about eighty ounces
Of water every twenty-four hours.
This occurs in the form of evap-
grafton from the lungs or through
the skin, or in the form Of
watery secretion from both the
skin and the kidneys.
You can readily understand that
if you were to lose eighty ounces
of water weight every day ana
were not to replace It you would
speedily enter upon a very rapid
decline.
AS a matter of fact, we do re-
place much Of this fluid without
drinking water, as such, but by
taking it in the. form Of tea or
coffee or milk or some other
beverage.
But we also drink water, as
water, either at our meals or be.
tween times, and it is this habit
in particular to which I wish to
call special attention.
have seen many cases Of &C.
tual i'll health induced by exces.
sive water drinking.
In the first place, to gulp down
half-pint or a pint of water at
one time is to put precisely that
much weight in the stomach, with
a resulting tendency to drag that
organ downward in the abdoni.
nal cavity.
In the next place, that much
volume Of water tends to dilute
the digestive Juice Of the stom.
ach to such a degree that in
many cases it cannot do its duty
in digesting food.
In either event there Is a very
marked disturbance Of health.
On the other hand I have geen
cases in which the digestive
juice, generally called the gastric
Juice. is so highly acid chat a
certain amount Of food is neces.
sary so to dilute 1t that Z does
not damage the stomach itself.
OF the two habits, those Of ex.
cessive water drinking and no
water drinking, the former prob.
ably does the largest amount Of
damage. As a rule, the habit &C.
quired by normal persons VINO
take no thought OF their eating
or drinking represents a proper
adjustment to requirements.
