In fevers, the consumption of water in the body is much in creased, and this also occurs during strenuous exercise.or work. Consequently, the need of

the body for water is increased and more fluids must be taken.

It is true that the body can make up for the increase in the amount consumed by reducing the amount eliminated, but this only concen- trates the poisonous products that normally ...... collect in the

To introduce water rapidly it is best taken before meals, as it is then rapidly absorbed. Most people would be better for an extra glass or two of water night' and morning, and this may con- gotain lemon or orange juice.

Behind the house, a long, nar row garden lies between brick walls; there, when the weather is favourable, the Pe- kingese families take the air and indulge in a little lively scuffing and scampering. There, too, lunch is served on occasion, and is taken in mannerly fashion.

Constipation is -an, evil at any time.... When it follows upon an operation, it is # condition that simply must be remedied. This woman tried various remedies, but found relief only when she took on regular y daily dose of Kruschen Salts. She tells of her ex- perience in the following letter:--

"I have used Kruschen Salts for about 10 years every morning without fail. I had an operation 10 years ago (abdominal), and found when getting over it that I should have to take aperients, as constipation developed. I took various medicines and pills, which somehow did not do much good.

Finally, I tried Kruschen Salts, and found it very satisfactory, and have carried on with it ever since. My health is much better since I started using it."-(Mrs.) E-T
