To cure rheuma usm 1t Is necessary
to rid the system Of the excess OF uric

even more important than the use OF
drugs. though in very severe cases the
latter are not to be despised In con-
junction with the dieting that is abso-
lutely essential.
The Massachusetts General hospital
Of Boston allows the following diet for
its rheumatic patients: Graham or
brown bread. white bread Qimited to
one-half slice daily, corn. rice. milk.
eggs. -four. puddings. crackers, beans,
peas. all kinds Of vegetables, except
potatoes. tomatoes and asparagus. rhu-
barb. fresh dsb, butter. cheese. but
termilk. cream, alkaline waters and
toast Avoid red meats, starch or
potatoes, white bread and sugars.
The sensible use Of water both In
ternally and externally plays large
part in the prevention or cure OF rheu-
matism. One or two glasses. either
