THE HAILEYBURIAN THURSDAY, SEPT. 29th, 1932 GRANT FLEMING, M.D. DRINK WATER! people, Most without much effort can secure all the water they require for drinking. Nevertheless, many per- sons suffer from a lack of the full measure of the health they could en- joy, because they fail to use plenty of water. We cannot enjoy good health if we deprive our bodies of the water which they need. Water is an essential part of every tissue of the body. The blood hard tissues as the teeth and the bones con- is mostly water, and even such tain water. Without functions body There headaches, the digestive sys- sufficient water the become disturbed. may be tem may be upset, or other symptoms of faulty functioning may appear. We can live for many days without food; life can continue for only a few days without water. The regular daily use of plenty of water is necessary to replace the water which our bodies lose each day we live. Water is lost in every breath. Breath on a cold glass and you will see, collected on the glass, the droplets of water which are contained in the breath. The skin gets rid of a large amount of water in the form of perspiration. It goes on, weather when--because it is not noticeable-- it This is obvious in summer. to a lesser degree, in cold is called "insensible" perspiration. Quantities of water are passed from the kidneys and in the moyements~ of the bowels. All told, we lose on an average about five pints of water daily through the various channels mentioned. We must take into our bodies an amount of OF THE Edited"by =~ ASSOCIATE SECRETARY we are to keep our bodies healthy. Many people used to go to some mineral springs when they felt "below par." The benefits received from their stay at the springs were due in large measure to the increased quantities of water they drank. Much of the water we taken into our bodies in our foods, many of which contain a large per- ecntage of water. Green vegetables and fruits contain much water; about 87% of milk is water. Moderate amounts of fluids with meals is desirable, provided they are not used to take the place of thorough chewing of the food. The time to drink at meals is when the mouth is empty and never to wash down the require is food. A glass or two of water upon rising in the morning, between meals, to- gether with the moderate use of fluids at meals. will assure the regular daily use of plenty of water which is essen- tial to good health. Questions concerning Health, addressed to the Canadian Medical Association, 184 College Street, Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. The relief committee of the town of Kapuskasing spent a total of $767.99 during the past year, $448.76 of which was for food, according to a report pub- lished last week in the Northern Tribune. Total receipts, most of which were from . private sub- scriptions, reached the sum of $1025.57. House building in Kirkland Lake reached a new high peak this year, a total of 416 new water at least equal to what we lose if homes having been erected. Fisrt Aid in Poisoning By DR. WILLIAM J. SCHOLES In any case of poisoning, the. ser- vices of a physician should be obtained But, in the meantime, the patient should not be as quickly as_ possible. neglected. A knowledge of how to give first aid to the poisoned may be the means of saving a life that would otherwise be lost before a doctor can be reached. The first thing to do in a case of poisoning is to give an antidote. This neutralizes or combines the poison in such a way as to render it less harm- ful. Then, except when mineral acids- or alkalis have been swallowed, vomiting should be induced by giving an emetic. (Mineral acids are such acids as sul- phuric, nitric and hydrochloric. Strong alkalis are lye, caustic soda, and caustic potash). Mustard water makes a good emetic. It is made by stirring a table- spoonful of mustard in a glassful of warm water Except in morphine or opium poi- soning, the patient kept warm and quiet. should be Diluted vinegar may be used to neu- tralize lye or other alkalis. For Acid Poisoning Soap may be eaten for acid poison- ing. Remember that no attempt should be made to induce vomiting in either alkali or acid poisoning. The gas liberated by the interaction of the soda and the acid which has been swallowed would probably tear the tissues. For strychnine or. preparations con- taining it, strong tea should be given. Strong tea is usually the most avail- able antidote for: poisoning with alka- loidal drugs. These are such drugs as strychnine and atropine. Raw eggs and milk may be given for mercury poisoning by bichloride of Antiseptic tablets often contain this or N "A 4 Hints for the _ 43 Household pares Ww --_/* HOUSEHOLD HINTS Serving Tea Daintily To give a touch of daintiness "and temptation in serving beverages should naturally be the aim of every hostess.| when Especially is that true serving tea.
