URIC ACID CONDITION

THE uric acid condition is per-

TILLIE

TILLIE, which has long been re-
= garded as one of the contractions
formed from Mathilda, has really the
right to Independent existence, so fire.
quently does it occur in nomenclature
since the time Of Henry the Fowler
1t signifies mighty battle maid and
is one of the old Teutonic names in
dicative of power. BY rights it should
be spelled Tile.
1t comes, of course, from the old
German word for main or might. It's
first form was Maginhild, which very
naturally became Mahthild, meaning
main hevoine" or might heroine {"
The name was first borne by the wife
of Emperor Henry the Fowler, who
afterward became the atbess of Oued-
lingbourg. AS Mechtild it appeared as
the title of the abbess OF Adilstettan
and straightway received great vogue
at the hands of all French maidens.

when there is too much of it oxida-
ton is not going on properly in the
body.
When oxidation proceeds as it
should uric acid combines with other
substances in the kidneys or bladder
and is discharged from the body as
such compounds.
One of these compounds, for ex-
ample, is sodium urate which is
formed by combination of uric acid
with sodium chloride Cor table saltl
which circulates in solution in the
blood
Too much uric acid also means i'm
proper chemical changes in the albu-
minOid food, and that the uric acid
has produced disease.
The tendency to excessive formation
of uric acid is common in middle life
and old age
1t may come from worry and want
of sleep, overexertion, improper diet
and free use of alcohIic beverages.
1t is seen in such joint diseases as
rheumatism, govt, joint diseases, and
various forms of indigestion.
1t may lead to the formation Of
hard stones in the kidney or bladder,
which are very much more trouble
some than those which are soft and
easily broken.
1t may be absorbed from the kid
neys into the Flood and deposited in
the joints and other tissues.
When it is present or suspected the
bowels and kidneys must bekept NOV
ing freely, water and milk drunk in
abundance, and simple, laxative food
eaten, such as bran, ellis, primes, figs
and baked apples.
Albuminoid foods must be eaten
sparingly, especially meat, fish and
eggs.
AS these substances are responsible
for uric acid the less they are eaten
