the presence of uric acid in the blood, rheu-
matism, govt and kidney troubles. and for
dyspepsia. - f.a}sss

same things appear day after day, fbut be-

In general the points embodied in the menus
are the use Of meat but once a day, although
: animal food in the form of fish, eggs ana
poultry appears in almost every meal. Red
