“It is not generally known that the addition of a little salt to the water drunk is of great assistance in overcoming fatigue,” said Dr T. Fletcher Telford, at the inaugural meeting of the Christchurch branch of the New Zealand branch of the Royal Sanitary Institute. "The reason for this is that body salts are lost when exertion causes a person to perspire, as can be perceived by the salty taste on the lips when they have dried after perspiration. In consequence, salt and water help to overcome fatigue but pure water does not.”
