Excerpt from Thoughts on Bathing
That water is indeed pretty freely used, in cooking, washing, and irrigation, is freely admitted; That a con siderable quantity of it is also used in the various mix tures among us, called drinks, is equally undeniable. It is indeed true that for the latter purpose, it is seldom used in its pristine condition - nature's own state. Thus what we call tea, coffee, chocolate, beer, cider, and even distilled liquors, - though for the most part chiefly water, and some of them nearly all such - are all of them more or less im pine and unwholesome, having more or less foreign or poisonous substances infused or mixed with them. Still, in some point or other, this elementary substance is much used; and if wholly withheld by Heaven but for a single week, would prove the destruction of thousands and mil lions of our race.
