I have started editing the file on BB posts and here is a nice little treasure already:
Dear Mr. Nave, Some time in the past, we made an interesting determination among a group of volunteers .persons suffering from a similar presentation as you state. Our investigations substantiated, generally, the contentions of Dr. F. Batmanghelidj ....to wit: for every 8 ounce cup of coffee, the body requires 32 ounces of plain water. Our volunteer population almost to a person....were able to resume drinking coffee without the "previously attendant" arthritic complications-----whenever they "scrupulously" abided by the aforementioned requirement. General fluids such as fruit juice, milk, etc., do not qualify as hydrators----in this case ONLY water does. Sincerely, ; Brooks Bradley.
