WHAT COMMON.SAXT IS'
By W. C. Cotton, M. D,
or ordinary
" Sodiilm Chloride,
table salt, isa very valuable- com
pound exclusive of 'its kitchen
use; that is fronf a medicinal
standpoint. The usijal mistake is
made fro musing salt in strong
solution, when it becomes an n
ritant. . .
"Salt" is a compound of two
substances,' so'dium-and chlorine,
the letter substance "being a pow-1
erful irritant- Hence, you can'see
the reason for 'using weak solu
tions. '
' For ordinary tired eyes, where
glasses have been used, sale water
acts as a splendid tonic, especially
after an all night sessidn, it tones
up blind eyes nicely. Salt baths
once a mqnth gives the skin a nice
healthy appearance.
In constipation an occasional
injection o"f .hot water containing
small amounts of salt, one. tea
spoon full to a quart of water, is
very beneficial. Two' beenfits are
here enjoyed. The contents of
the bowels ate washed away, thus
removing heaps of poisons aii3
decomposed matter; and the salt
tones of the' bowel' up, acting
'against further accumulation.
This is a veryimportant factor in
, life: A constant loaded.- bowel
with decayed foods will tend to
age a perso nas' much' as disease
or overwork.
It has been claimed that this is
one method of motheT nattine in
limiting the population, or in
plain words, the shortening of
life.
After very extensive surgical
operations whefe large amounts
of blood is lost, and after severe
hemorrhages from other sources,
salt water is injected to make up
for the lost blood. This shows
the power.of just salt and water.
I am convinced that a salt
water wash after the plain coap
and wafer wash for the scalp is
far better and less expensive than
the majority of soap suds and
quinine preparations on the mar
ket. .
Salt water is not a curejor all,
but in the above outlined condi
tions you will find it a great help.

New Albany, Ind., March 21.
A teriffic explosion in the neigh
borhood of a brewery here lately
caused afhear panic.
Nothin' doin', however. 'Twas
only a keg of bock beer that ex
ploded. It made a lot of noise
and the booze flew in all direc
tions," but as no one was in the
vicinity, little damage was done
and no ohe got "soused."
