not primarily the affection of the kid

cases, he believed that the disease rep

turbance. due to changes in the blood.
He reversed many of the old treat

limiting the amount of protein consum-
ed by the patient, he administered q
high protein diet with beneficial re-
suits. the object being primarily to
overcome the bad condition of the
