Value of Eruit Acids.

1t is thought that acid fruits induce
rheumatism. The contrary is true.
Fruit acids taken into the system by
a person, who has rheumatism act
beneticially, and actually have the eff
feet of increasing the alkalinity Of the
blood. Experiments have proved this
conclusivelE. Thus person who has
too much uric acid in the blood should
for time eat fruit or acid fruit juices
