Text Appearing Before Image:
uence by its attenu-ating properties and povyrer to increase the secretionsin diseases of the alimentary canal, v^hich are often theconsequence of a thickening of the fluids and retentionof vitiated matter. I cannot conclude these remarks without a few wordson the use or abuse of mineral waters. We know thegood effects of some mineral springs in many chronicaffections, and that many owe their restoration to healthto their use; but we cannot deny that it is one of thefashions of the day to visit the spas for the dolce farniente, the many diversions to be found there. Letsuch free their minds from tormenting cares at home,at the same time drinking plentifully of fresh springwater and living otherwise temperately, and the chancesare they will find quite as much, if not more relief,than from the boasted spas. Many chronic affections will yield to regular andtemperate living upon the principles laid down in thecourse of this work, aided by the free use of our ownpure and excellent springs.
