Skin Troubles and Diet.

There is reason to believe that
there is close connection between
many forms of skin trouble and the
diet. One significant thing is the
singular S;ubbornness of many skin
disorders and their mysterious ten
dency to Iecur even when the physi-
clan continues the form of treatment
that at first seemed to act as a cure.
Among these rebellious skin troubles
are acne, eczema, psoriasis, and
urticaria. All four diseases are
likely to respond to treatment at
first, but too often they return OBJ
stinately, as stream of water re-
turns when 1t has been swept back
by broom.
That common characteristic has
set the physicians searching for some
common underlying cause. AS a
Tesui' of their Investigations, 1t is
generally believed that there is a
direct !e>s.ion between the metabol
ism-thaS%\to say, the chemical
changes by t,eh food Is transform
ed into body tisSNs-and the condi-
t;,>, ,,f tho sL,,
But although we aNspt it as a
fact that many kinds of SIN trouble
are dependent on the diet, it is still
necessary to experiment with each
case until We have found the partic-
uiiar diet ii that IS for
that has been accomplished, II
is constant need FOR The p4,sr rtsss55
exercise all the self-control he pos
sesses, for these obstinate skin dis
orders cannot be cure 1 in few days
or even a few weeks.
\ regulated diet does not mean
simply going without this or adding
that article Of food. One leading
dermatologist has defined it as usuch
a regulation of the quantity and
quality of food and drink, its mode
of preparation, and the time and
method of its consumption as shall
Conduce to the restoration and
maintenance of the health of the
body, including the skin" The
patient, therefore, must cooperate
faithfully with his physician or the
cure will fail.
