The Proper Use of Water

By William Warren Prescott

The first of the series of studies already announced is printed in this department this week. In order to understand the reasons for the proper use of water, it is necessary that there should first be a study of some of the physiological principles involved. Arbitrary instruction could be given as to the proper way to make certain hot and cold applications, without the study of these principles, but if we wish to have some comprehension of the reason for a certain course of treatment, and to know how certain treatments accomplish their results, we must start with a consideration of a few fundamental principles.

We now urge again that these lessons be systematically studied. One reading will not be sufficient. These fundamental principles should be firmly fixed in the mind. Those who are willing to study will reap the benefit from these lessons. We can do no more than to provide the matter, urge its importance, and earnestly invite all to its study. We hope for a general response.

In behalf of the Central Committee,

W. W. PRESCOTT, Chairman.
