BY a curious paradox. while most
foods are alkaline or neutral and
tend TO lower acidity when eaten, it
does not necessarily follow that
those which are acid in reaction will
increase or aggravate acidity of

trary most CT the acid fruits for

(carbonates) in the process Of di-
gestion and actually decrease the
acidity OF the urine and other fluids

routine, but only when they are

Diet in Acidity and Acidosis
BY Woods Hutchinson. VI. d.

To sour" on anyone or anything
is bitter and unpleasant expert
ence. but less distressing than to
have something sour on you, after
it has gained access to your interior.
Life, as the chemist sees it, is a sort
of backward and forward pulsation
between two electric poles. the acid
positive and the alkaline negative
and while neither can claim to be
normal rather than the other, yet
it is surprising how often painful.
diseased, or dangerous conditions
are associated with the acid phase.
We die, as the pithy old saying has
it, for want of breath" but that
air starvation is often mainly due
to acidosis or increasing acidity Of
the blood which poisons and finally
paralyzes the breathing center in
the medulla.
Acidity of the saliVary fluids of
the mouth promotes the much be-
walled decay and breakdown of our
teeth. we have all suffered the pangs
of sour stomach with its gripings

and acidity would seem TO be always
and everywhere bad medicine"
and alkalis the universal cure-alls
But such a sweeping conclusion
would be most misleading, and
while our knowledge of acidity and
acidOsis is still vague and i'm the
making yet il is we'll to remind our
selves that acid conditions are pro-
duced by such scores Of different
causes. mean such totally different
things and are so often healthful

that such and such a person has
