MAGIC MEDICINE FROM NEVER-NEVER LAND
2. Sweating
nr. Brady
Is a turkish bath advisable
for a person who has been on a
hard drinking bout?
A good many
drinkers be
lieve it is. They
think the pro
fuse sweating
"gets the al
cohol out of
the system"
and so pre
vents ill ef
fects the drink
er would oth
erwise suffer.
As a matter
of physiologi
cal fact when
larse amounts
of alcohol are taken from 88 to
90 per cent of it is oxidized,
burned up in the body. The small
proportion that is not burned up
is excreted mainly through the
kidneys and the lungs, and only
traces of alcohol are excreted in
the sw"eat.
Therefore the notion that pro
fuse sweating "gets the alcohol
out of the system" is wrong.
Moreover, the harm done by
1 alcohol in any quantity is last
ing if not permonent, although
all of the alcohol is burned up
or excreted within several hours,
as a rule. The dimwit who
thinks he or she can drink to ex
cess and avoid the destructive
effects of the poison by "getting
the alcohol out of the system"
well, he or she was mentally de
fective to begin with, else why
resort to alcohol at all?
There is a widesrjread belief
that profuse sweating, induced
bv applications of neat, hot
baths, drugs, etc., is good treat
ment for acute illnesses of vari
ous kinds. The Wiseacres imag
ine the body "throws off or
eliminates" whatever poisons,
impurities, germs, toxins, acids
or waste products their favorite
charlatans may regard as the
cause of such illness.
In my opinion the best all-
around first aid treatment for
child or adult comine down with
any such acute feverish illness
as the grippe, acute sore throat,
acute coryza, acute sinusitis
acute earache, acute toothache
(ulcerated tooth), tonsillitis,
acute bronchitis, acute pleurisy
or pneumonia, lust a bad cold
to you, lamebrain, is H. M. F. B.
That means a hot mustard foot
bath administered to the pa
tient in bed. and I mean in bed
between blankets, not sitting up.
ISO one can take H.M.F.B. himself.
Of course a hot mustard foot
bath may produce more or less
sweating, but that is only inci
dental. It relieves or moderates
the severity of the illness by
equalizing the circulation, re
ducing congestion, and so dimin
ishing irritation and perhaps
sootning or relieving pain.
But the quantity of poison
toxic waste matter, acid impuri
ties or metabolic by-products
present in a gallon of sweat in
duced by heat is considerably
Jess than would be present in a
teaspoonful of blood and al
though it does no harm to take
a few fluidounces (say 30 or 40

teaspoonfuls) of blood from a
vein in almost any case, no one
would seriously urge such bleed
ing as a routine method of treat
ment for the C-R-I (common res

Nine out of ten intelligent
laymen if men are intelligent
who have skipped physiology or
studied it only as a minor fea
ture in a course in biology
have only vague or confused
ideas about the nature and pur
pose of sweating.
Because a great deal of un-
happiness, needless worry and
anxiety and, in my opinion, ill
health is due to this popular
ignorance ol elementary physiol
ogy, it may be well to devote
this space tomorrow to defining
the difference between active
and passive sweating.
