on the rheumatic system and though whisky and brandy gin and rum are not so Injurious If taking sparingly and at long Intervals they are best abjured and water and milk substituted In the past 10 years mineral waters have been consumed In enormous quantities by rheumatics In the belief that they afforded especial aid and they are efficacious ef-ficacious chiefly though from the fact that they are very pure and that the use of them Induces a patient to imbibe an unusual quantity of sveit cleansing liquId I am willing to say that where mineral min-eral waters are not easily obtained any pure water talten at the rate of two or three quarts a day has an equally salutary effect Dn the system It must be pure however and filtered If there are any doubts about Its cleanliness clean-liness This liquId taken slowly In small tumblersful and for the most part between meals will largely serve the purpose of mineral water Not more than a tumblerful is wholesome ateach meal and ft is best not to

the milk punches ever devIsed All these reasonable courses do not lead to a cure though unless exercise that Is regular and never stinted Is taken every day FIrst of all dont pretend to try for athletics or violent motion of any kind since It is jUlit as injurious to strain the achIng limbs as to let them lie inert For example when rheumatism attacks at-tacks the knees to swim to bicycle or PlaY golf simply overtax the tortured nerves and muscles but if you wIll take a cane and walk quietly for a JTllle or two if the weather Isdry take your hUn and go prowling through fields and woods In
