“A gallon a day will keep .the ‘doctor away.” That is what a physician said when asked if it was a- good thing to drink much water. A GALLON A DAY Doctors disagree about whether it is good to drink water with meals, the majority believing that food should not be washed down with liquids, but should be thor- oughly chewed and mixed with saliva, which is an aid to diges-’ tion. But several doctors who were asked about it asserted that it was good to drink even as much; as a quart of water with meals. All of the seven doctors who were interviewed about the bene-' fits of water drinking agreed that the copious drinking of water was: a preventive of disease, and thev‘, had known many cases in whichi health was restored by the drinks ing of water in large quantities ; One doctor advocated the drink- 3 in: of as much as three gallons of water a day in very warm weath- er. reducing the amount when the weather is cooler, but never drink- ing less than a gallon a dav. “Why,” said this physician.“two- thirds of the weight of the body is water. In a very warm day in August, an average man ivho is at work will perspire from two to six quarts of water a day. Where is it all coming from if you don't drink it? Many poisons generated bv the body are exuded through the nores of the skin in perspirl- A physician said: “I am not claiming that the drinking of plenty of water is a preventiVe of all diseases; that would be mis- leading and silly, but I \viIl say this: I have cured several bad cases of rheumatism and many cases of stomach ailment with water alone. In those cases the patients were in the habit of drinking very little water. I prescribed a quart ,of water be- fore breakfast each morning. and a gallon throughout the day, and a quart on. going to bed each night. It worked a cure in each case. . “I say this most emphatically, that a half-gallon or a gallon of water a day will help wash out the toxic poisons that are formed in the body, and will tend to keep a person in igood health and help him resist disease. “There is constantly being ac- cumulated in the body not only ’20, 1915.

Unless those things are thrown off bv the lungs, skin, kidneys, etc., we become lazy, dyspeptic, and uric acid will accumulate and cause rheumatism, kidney disorder and other organic disturbances. Now such conditions would be much less likely to ensue were the sim- ple precaution taken of drinking a pint of water often throughout ing. This washes out the stomach, stimulates the circulation in the lungs and skin and promotes the action of the liver. It a person has a tendency to gout or rheum- atism, the water drinking habit is especially recommended.” The Sunday school is in good running order now. and all who will attend will be made heartily welcome.
