The regulation of the interchange of water and salt in the body is a delicate and very precise mechanism. Haldane and Priestley (1) found no change in the percentage of hemoglobin in the blood after ingestion of large amounts of water plus salt. Later Priestley (2) reported a diminution in the electrical conductivity of the serum following an increased water intake and an increase of conductivity after ingestion of salt solution. Crawford (3), Adolph (4) and others confirm these findings.
