Recently one of the American medical journals reported all kinds of good things regarding the therapeutic value of distilled water in certain diseases when given by injection. Now, John Hopkins University Hospital reports remarkable success with their new water cure for serious burns. A man suffering from burns extending over two-thirds of his body was put at once into a bath filled with water, and kept there for six days and nights. The water was changed frequently, and the man was forced to drink great quantities of water. Nothing definite as to the action of this treatment is given, but the hospital claims, according to the “Chemist and Druggist”, that where heretofore a person burnt as badly as this case was regarded as hopeless, this man will leave the institution within a week restored to health.
