DR. BARUCH, writes in Times and Register Another hydristic method, which acts by re- regarding the use of hot water for dyspepsia :- moving the cause of disturbance, is the sipping of hot water an hour before meals, in dyspepsia. The hot water craze, which now has taken a firm hold upon the lay public, is but the legitimate outcome of a valuable therapeutic application of water whose simplicity commenda it at once to the judgment of the intelligent physician. Brought into prominence by Dr. Salisbury, who commited the error of most enthusiasts of regarding it as a panacea for most diseases, it has now been adopted by the profesion as a most valuable agent in many gastric troubles, By removing the products of fermentation, by cleansing the mucous membrane of mucus, It restores tone and vigor to the gastric llning, and enables the natural forces to come into play. It is important to observe strict complicance with the rule laid down by the originator, viz., that the water should be sipped as hot as possible, and that an hour should elapse before a meal is taken, Examples of failures due to neglect of 15 this rule are numerous in the experience of all
