Text describes the nature of salt water as well as the optimum form for saltwater to take. While artwork on the page depicts sailing in saltwater, the rest of the text describes the benefits and detriments of drinking salt water, as well as including remedies for the negative effects. Final sentences comment on the overall effect saltwater can have on an individual along with the most recommended type of person/conditions for drinking saltwater. The overall effect description emphasizes the dehydration that salt water can provide. This, coupled with artwork depicting sailing on saltwater rather than someone drinking it, indicates that saltwater was not regarded as drinkable water.
