UTAH, SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 28. 1897. nn Its Explains faint Health Promoting , Enormous ' Repairing Waste Tisanes Sipping a Powerful Stimulant to the Circulation Action of Watar Upon YariouO r gans Drink lots of water was the lesson which an eminent physician impressed on bis hearers in a singularly interesting lecture delivered last week. Although water is not a food in the sense of directly contributing to the production of force or heat, it is yet a food in the eease that, without its presence in the body, all vital action must come to a standstill, as no change is possible in its absence. Our tissues con tain an indispensable proportion of water; wo are constantly losing - breathing, and the various excretions, ana, as ju9t hinted, its presence is required for the occurrence of those various chemical .changes by which we live and move and have our being. This being eu,the physician continued, its v(Uue as , an Article of food may be ta&enas granted, and we may consider more particularly , X- - its action and uses wheu taken not a3 a food, but as a means to preserve health or to ward off ur re- large-quantitiee-b- y move disease. The effects produced by the drinking of water vary with the manner in which it is drunk. If, for instance, a pint of cold water be swallowed as a large draught, or if it be taken in two portions with a short interval between, certain definite effects follow effects which differ from those which woqld have 'resulted from the same quantity taken by sipping. Sipping i a powerful stimulant to the circulation a thing which ordinary drinking it not.

In addition to this, wc also find that .the preesure ntder whi'h the bile 1 i secreted is raised by the dipping a fart the importance f of uuids which we shall notice directly. 1 Many ir.diwduals may have been rt limes unpleawnlly conscious of that a ghe of z is orJker the Into the head quicker J than if drunk in a draught. They will now be in a position to under Stand why this is so, the explanation being that the temporary ; u rely Maof the Inhibitory nerve of the heart and Ihe increased stimulation of the circulation lavor tho rapid absorption of the alcohol and the production of its consequent effects. The same thing occur if the liquid be sucked through a straw, the effects of sipphj and sucking being . identical. Swallowing In the usual way lias not the stimulant effects of sipping, but it has one or two special effects not produced by sipping, the use of which we shall mention a little . later. The effects of drinking cold water are these! If, sav, a pint oi cold water is swallowed straightway, the temperature of the body is slightly J lowered about one degree Fahren-vhe- it the pulse rate is somewhat decreased fnot greatly Jncraaed, as by sipping), and the respirations are slightly accelerated. The blood vessels in- - the lining- mem. ,n " -- - -- ' -- - V ' : " brane of the stomach are at 'first contracted; they very soon, how Cver, vapidly dilate?,' the blood flow in them is increased, and the secre tion of gastric juice is stimulated. There are, on the Other-haod- , many persons who find that these effects are brought about better if they take warm water instead of cola, although at first eight it tn&y appear somewhat strange that like effects are produced by both - hot and cold water. The explanation is simple. The warm-wat- er acts withdoes as the cold, only exactly out tne previous contraction its action being to at once dilate the vessels after its reception by the stomach. The practice of drinking at meals large quantities of liquid i3bad; but small quantities may be taken without hurt, although undoubtedly it is wiser to drink either before or after the meal, if we cannot limit our consumption of fluid? to a distinctly small amount. Whenever a meal is particularly rich in fatty material, it is a good plan to drink some time alter the meal, as in this way the digestion of fat in the intestines is aided. That water possesses a purgative action is a 'thing well known to This particular many people. effect is due to it power--o- f - stimulating the secretion of bile and also of increasing the peristaltic action of the intestines. If plain water betaken, its purgative effects are best produced by its being cold; if uatnral mineral waters are taken, they should be mixed with a small quantity cf hot water so as to be &t about the same temperature as Warm watet Is lh.5.ftQmC.h. more readily absorbed than cold, and moderate quantities than large oris, absorption being retarded if large quantities of either warm or cold water are taken at once.

So great in this direction are the affects of cold water that persons leading sedentary lives may often obtain by drinking plenty of water much of the feeling of health and exhileration which results from taking exercise a fact not difficult of belietwhen we remember that a glass of cold water, slowly sipped, will produce greater acceleration of the pulse for a time than will a glass of wine or spirits taken at A draught. In this connection, too, it. may not be out of place to mention the fact that sipping cold water will often allay the craving for alcohol in thosa who have - been In -- the habit of UMng too much of it, and who may be endeavoring to reformv the effect being probably .due to the stimulant action of the sipping.

I have said before that faith in a God is a living principle of the life, of humanity. Whence comes this faith? I hold, with nearly all the philosophers of antiquity, with Spencer, Huxley and Tyndall and most of the scientists and thinkers of modern times, that the religious sentiment - and belief arise apparently spontaneously iri the' human soul and are absolutely the characteristics of ' universal humanity.'" How comes this universal theistio conception, into existence? My reply is that it comes through two channele: 1st intuition; 2nd deduction.
