Water Drinking

962. Water is the best liquid possible to cleanse the tissues.... Drink some little time before or after the meal.—The Review and Herald, July 29, 1884. HL 226.1

963. Fast for one or two meals, and drink only pure, soft water. The loss of a meal or two will enable the overburdened system to overcome slight indispositions; and even graver difficulties may sometimes be overcome by this simple process.—The Health Reformer, February 1, 1871. HL 226.2

964. Their sallow skins indicate that they are bilious.... Observe regular habits of rising early.... Eat sparingly, thus relieving the system of unnecessary burden, and encourage cheerfulness; take proper exercise in the open air, bathe frequently, and drink freely of pure, soft water.—The Health Reformer, January 1, 1871. HL 226.3

965. If they would become enlightened, ... and accustom themselves to outdoor exercise, and to air in their houses, summer and winter, and use soft water for drinking and bathing purposes, they would be comparatively well and happy, instead of dragging out a miserable existence.—How to Live 4:56. HL 226.4
