popular springs is perfectly shocking, and can only be injurious. It
is no uncommon occurrence to see persons drink from five to ten
glasses of Congress or Hathorn water with scarcely any interval, and
the writer has heard of a lady who swallowed within a few minutes

appetite increased thereby.

An abundance of vegetables should be avoided, and only those which
are perfectly fresh should be used.

Frequent bathing in mineral water and otherwise will be found
beneficial.

Raising the temperature of the spring water, by placing a bottle of it
in boiling water, makes it more efficacious as a cathartic, and is
said to remove the iron. Heating the water makes it better for bathing
purposes.
