My cure is Thermotabs brand {quot}salt{quot} tablets.  Maybe there
are other

brands, but I don't know them.  These are not just sodium chloride,
but

a mix of sodium and potassium chlorides, with some other 
ingredients

probably intended to make them dissolve in your stomach.  (I've
tried

pure salt tablets and don't like them.)  Take one with a full glass
of

water.  Ignore the label that tells you to repeat this umpteen times
a

day - I can't recall ever needing more than two tablets in a day, and
my

last bottle of 100 tablets (~$8, currently) lasted me about 20
years.  


I think of Thermotabs as dehydrated Gatoraide, without the silly
colors

and disgusting flavors.

anything, but you still can't help but smile when you

see one tumble down the stairs.
