Ae a healing measure its popularity has waxed and waned many times. It is just now In high favor. e When water is •given internally in the 'treatment of disease it is drunk either to exert its action as a. fluid or as a vehicle to intreduce into the body certaih sails and minerals dissolved in it, as at the various seas. Since water constitutes so largo a part of the body, and since 50 much is conlinuatly easeing away through the facia and the kidneys, the necessity for taking it into the body regularly and in adequate amountis evident. Iiut' semetiioes an unusual quantity of water is .advisable in order t the eyetem may be fludlied when, it con - tame tee -mach uric acid or ether ln- ;jurious material, •and in cases of pois- oning or oe autointoxication. The temperature of the fluid drunk determines in a measure its manner..' of action; when taken cold it Is ex- creted riy the kidneys, but when c •runk hot, whether as hot water, or hot lemonade, or hot tea, it induces per- spiration.. When water le given to simulate -the action of the kidneys, it; is usufllly bet- ter to drink plain or distilled water, thought sometimes a more definite re- sult is obtained in the treatment of dropsy if the water holds some salt in. solution. Drinking .toeliminate uric - acid should be done at regular hours, by night as well fee by day, or else there. w1Ll_be no flight elimination, although the formation of the poison will go on Without intermission. Water is useful too in the treatment of constipation, which is often caused by a too rapid absorption of water from the intestinal canal. This can be coun- teracted by plentiful watereleiniting :and by the eating of food containing a good deal of indigestible cellulose— bran, fruit and vegetable skins, and•eo on, One in good health, who desires to rednain so, will do well to drink one or two glasses of water on rising, be- sides the normal drinking at mealtime. Olden Mottoes in Vogue Again _.With Sun Dials. Sun dials have become muck the vogue during recent years. The ro- mance of antiquity surrounds them and they have lived ever into this age because of their beauty and ancient as- soctationa- In the olden Days every sun dial -car- ried its message: Here are some which have become axioms: A11 things do wax and wane. The longest day must end. Make hay while the sun shines.. There are many quotations, worthy and suitable for such inscription.' Be tree asethe dial to the sun. Improve each shining hour. Old Time is still a -flying. Time wasted is existence; used, is life. Time -conquers alk Au old dial In a garden of Sussex, England, beafe upon its plate these four mottoes, one for each season: After Darkness, Light. Alas! I•Iow swift. I warn whilst I move.

The famous\,,Chancellor was hard at work in his chambers one day when a student dropped into ask him far a motto that might be written upon this sun dial which was Piet Hien be- ing built. Twice, did the student make his request,ebut the abstracted Chan- cellor allowed no sign of having heard it. The student.for the third time re- peated his iequest. Then Lord Bacon looker, up and said: "Sirrah, be gone about your business!" "A thousand thanks, my lord,". was the reply. "Nothing could..be better than that." So, upon the dial was placed that scathing admonition: "Sirrah, begone about your business!"

Hay Fever. - Front 'thousands of patients tested during the last few years, it has been found that Hay Fever is seasonal and caused chiefly by pollenating grasses in June, rose pollen ;in July, ragweed pollen in August. Nine out of every ten people suffering from Fail Iiay Fever in Ontario can blame ragweed. This plant begins to pollenate August 15th. Tho -pollen, being as light as down, is blown by the wind to a dis- tance of 100 miles in all directions. Cause: Some people can breathe the pollen of certain plants and the Lining of the nose treats it -as ordinary dust; but .others suffer extremely after breathing air laden with pollen, due to inflammationof the nose and eyes be- cause the lymph in their blood (for some unknown reason) tries to digest the pollen as it touches the Iinieg of the nose. Once a person becomes sus- ceptible to this irritation, he will suffer from it for the rest of his life. Helpful Hints: Prevent the attack by avoiding the pollen; during the pol- lenating season of the particular plant which irritates you, go to a district where the air is tree from that poien• Three days in such air will see a com- pete care. Treatment: No inhalation or other treatment for the nose is of any use; nopatent medicine will cure hay fever, The only helpful treatment found as yet Is injections of an extract of the particular pollen causing the individ- ual case. It Is effective and many peo- ple wlo.have been victims for years have found the tre,atm(.nt reduced their suffering to about only one -twentieth of the-tteuai time; it mug, however, be repeated each yam•, The treatment is rather costly and can only be ob- tatted from the few physicians who have given it special study.
