Salt Tablet Habit Urged By Surgeon
Col. H. H. Fisher, post surgeon, urged soldiers to take two salt tablets at every summer meal to replace salt lost through sweating and prevent heat stroke. He noted salt from food is insufficient and the body gives no warning when salt is needed. in cooler weather tablets may be reduced, but the habit should continue until sustained cool weather. The more active and perspiring a soldier is, the more salt should be consumed.
