Sea- Water As Panacea

■■"''■ ■■' — ■ "♦ ~ — ~ .'..' A lecturer at the London College of Physiology recently — Dr. Lawson— sang the pi-aises of sea water as a curative agent for all manner of ills. Among conditions he had successfully treated with it were anaemia, catarrh, neuritis, neurasthenia and chronic headaches. It was also, he said, an unfailing tonic m all cases of debility, whether the liver or the nervous sys-r tern was the underlying cause. The 'treatment is carried out by means of hypodermic injections/ of water brought frbrii out iri the Atlantic, filtered and sterilised and diluted with spring water to bring it to the ■ same specific gravity as the blood. Dr. Lawson claimed that sea-water was of the same composition as the fluid which nourished the cells of the body and one of the . most fascinating provinces wherein sea-watdr works its miracles is m the treatment of the unborn child that it may' npt- suffer from, the sins of its father and be born healthy.
