absorb and carry off the deposits already in the system. For th 

 water goes through Mie whole system. Drink a big draught on a hot 

 day and you soon sweat out a goodly portion of it. It had to go 

 all through the body to get from the stomach to the skin. This is the 

 first part of the remedy. 



Second part of the Remedy. Pure water alone would 

 not enable a person to live 200 years in good health. He must avoid 

 eating food which will leave deposits of animal soil around the kidneys. 

 Too much meat will do this. The system can use but a small propor- 

 tion of nitrogen which is the chief food part of meat, the fiber is simply 

 waste. If too much of this waste is taken into the stomach it begins 

 slowly to deposit here and there some of this foul waste, The result 

 after a time is disease caused by the slow poisoning from this deposit. 

 Distilled water dissolves these deposits. So will the free use of ripe 

 fruit, especially apples, peaches, grapes, oranges (the juice not the 

 pulp), cherries, plums and berries. 



Dr. Wm. Kinnear wrote aa follows (North American Review, 

 June, 1893): 



44 Very few people, it is safe to say, desire old age. We cannot defy death. 

 But we may by searching, find certain secrets of nature and apply them to the 

 renewal of the organs whose decay is constantly going on in the body. Ana- 

 tomical experiment and investigation show that the chief characteristics of old 

 age are deposits of earthy matter of a gelatinous and fibrinous character in the 

 human system. Carbonate and phosphate of lime, mixed with other salts of a 

 calcareous nature, have been found to furnish the greater part of these earthy 

 deposits. Of course these earthy deposits, which affect all the physical organs, 

 naturally interfere with their functions. Partial ossification of the heart pro- 

 duces the imperfect circulation of the blood, which affects the aged. When the 

 arteries are clogged with calcareous matter there is interference with the circu- 

 lation upon which nutrition depends. Without nutrition there is no repair of 

 the body. Hence, G. H. Lewes states, that ' if the repair were always identical 

 with the waste, life would only then be terminated by accident, never by 

 old age.' 



Paradoxical as it may sound, certain foods which we put into our mouths 

 to preserve our lives, help at the same time to hurry us to the inevitable gate 

 of the cemetery A diet made up of fruit principally is best for people ad- 

 vancing in years, for the reason that being deficient in nitrogen the ossific de- 

 posits so much to be dreaded are more likely to be suspended. Moderate eaters 

 nave in all cases a much better chance of long life than those addicted to ex- 

 cesses of the table.^ Mr. De Lacy Evans, who made many careful researches in 

 these regions of science, comes to the conclusion that fruits, fish and poultry, 

 and young mutton and veal contain less of the earthy salts than other articles 

 of food, and are therefore best for people. Beef and old mutton usually are 

 overcharged with salts and should be avoided, If one desires to prolong life, 

 therefore, it seems that moderate eating and a diet containing a minimum 

 amount of earthy particles is most suitable to' retard old age by preserving the 

 system from blockages. 



The powerful solvent properties of distilled water are well known. As car- 

 bonate of lime exists in nearly all drinking water, the careful distillation elimi- 

 nates this harmful element. As a beverage, distilled water is rapidly absorbed 

 into the blood; it keeps soluble those salts already in the blood and facilitates 

 their excretion, thus preventing their undue deposit. The daily use of dis- 

 tilled water is, after middle life, one of the most important means of preventing 

 secretion and the derangement of health. Hence, to sum up, the most rational 

 modes of keeping physical decay or deterioration at bay, and thus retarding the
