tons will be given in this column.

THE HYGIENE OF THE KIDNEYS
We have frequently mentioned the
fact that we are being continually
poisoned during the processes of life
either by poisons taken into the body
through food and drink or by poison
us substances formed within the body
as a consequence of the action of
various organs. 1t is evident, there
fore, that these poisons must be
thrown off by the eliminating or.
gans, namely: the skin, intestines and
kidneys.
The skin alone, even by the add.
tional assistance of perspiration is
unable to eliminate more than a small
portion of this internal. In additi IN
to the skin, the intestines also assist
the work of the kidneys by expelling
principally the poisons from the di.
gestive organs. But only a small por.
ton of the poisons circulating in the
blood VII be eliminated in this way,
especially if there be a sluggish ac.
ton of these organs. Thus the great
bulk of the poisonous products is car.
ried to the kidneys, which are, in.
deed, our most important organs for
the elimination of poisonous sub.
stances from the blood.
In view of the great importance of
these organs, it is highly necessary
that we preserve their integrity and
protect them from disease, as far as
possible, by the observance of by.
gienic measures that pertain especial
ly to the kidneys. We cannot over.
estimate the Importance of protect
ing the kidneys from disease because
such diseases are difficult to treat,
difficult both for the physician AMI
the patient. Cures are often impos.
sible because the destroyed glandulat
tissue cannot be replaced and the pa
tient can prolopg his existence only
by %tediously careful routine during the
rest of his life.
1t is essential that the skin and in
testines be kept in good working or
der because the kidneys, working nor.
mally to their capacity, should not
be forced to do the additional work
rendered necessary by the incapacity
of other organs. Frequent baths and
suitable clothing are necessary to the
proper function of the skin while the
free and daily movement of the DO "
els should insure the eliminative func-
ton Of the intestines.
Since, as we have before stated, the
great bulk of the poisons within the
body are generated from food and
drink, the hygiene of the kidneys is
mainly the hygiene of diet. So we
shall consider briefly those articles
of diet most important in their rela.
tion to the kidneys.

According to DR.. Bunge, a noteC
authority, we use entirely too mucl
salt and in this way injure our kid
neys considerably. 1t has been dem
onstrated that diseased kidneys dc
not eliminate salt and that the reten
ion OF this substance is the chic
factor in causing the dropsy which
is characteristic of certain kidney dis
eases. Also in these cases decided
Improvement follows when the patient
Is put upon what is called a salt.free
diet or n in which no salt is used
For these reasons it is advisable tc
use salt moderately If not sparingly
in our daily food.
MIR is an article of diet which is
especially well borne by the kidneys.
1t stimulates the action of these
glands and passes through them with
out irritation. Milk in it's calculated
forms, such as sour or butter milk, is
especially valuable as a kidney slim.
ulant.
An abundant meat diet is decidedly
injurious to the kidneys. The lrge
amount of poisonous products formed
from the digestion of meat places a
heavy burden upon the kidneys whose
oVerwork may be followed by their
exhaustion. Hence it follows that a
diet which is largely vegetarian with
meat but once a day is the most suit
able.
The immoderate use of alcohol is
also destructive to kidney tissue and
frequently causes chronic disease of
these organs. The alcohol habit leads
to the immoderate use of salt which
has already been mentioned S iniur.
ious to the kidneys. Not only alco.
hol but other stimulants like tea and
coffee are harmful to the kidneys IL
taken in large quantities, but their
use in moderation is altogether safe.
Irritating spices, commercial sauces
and highly seasoned foods of all kinds
are to be avoided. The passage of
Il c substances for years through
the kidneys must certainly injure
their delicate structure and epa
the way for disease.
1t is always advisable to drink Dlen.
ty of water. This is Natures pro.
vision for flushing out the kidneys
n Riding them of the excess of pois-
onous material which they would 9th
wise retain. Persons should train
themselves to take at least eight
glasses of water daily.
The observance of the above men.
toned measures will go far towards
reducing the percentage of kidney dis.
ea-es among us and of p~rolonging the
life OF those who already may be sui.
fe1ing from these diseases in their
milder forms.
