The first duty on rising in the morning should be that of flushing the colon, as previously recommended, and flushing the stomach, as now recommended. Take one or two goblets of water (about eight ounces each) at a temperature most agreeable, which, however, should not be ice cold. An hour or half an hour later, during the breakfast, take one goblet of milk and water or two of water alone, when the mouth is free from food. About eleven o’clock in the forenoon, one or two goblets of spring or distilled water, at its natural temperature, should be drunk to cleanse the stomach, duodenum, kidneys, etc., and to flush the tissues of the body. At the noon meal one or two goblets, and at four or five in the afternoon a similar amount, should be drunk--the latter as a cleanser before the evening meal, at which about a pint or more is drunk to aid in emulsifying the food, as at the breakfast and noon repasts. As a rule, besides the amounts drunk at meal-time, there should be consumed as much as two quarts daily, and the best time for this is when the stomach is empty, or when it ought to be empty. At bedtime, one or more glasses may be drunk if one does not suffer from inconvenience from a full bladder during the sleeping hours. One should make water-drinking a habit, like eating, sleeping, defecating, etc. Water-drinking should be performed at regular periods during the day. System is as essential for the harmonious working of the organs as it is for the relations of the departments in a business, or of the details of any particular department. The guide to the order and temperature to be adopted is _agreeableness_. Find out by experiment what is most agreeable and beneficial to you, and continue the practice with slight variations adapted to the changes of the seasons and the conditions of the system. There must, however, be some training done in most cases, and what is not agreeable at first may become so.
