Diet for Itotierino Rheumatism.
Unquestionably the most active cause
of rheumatism, as wen as of migraine,
sick headache, Bright's disease, oeuras-
thenia, and a nun.ber of otber kindred
diseases, Is the general use of flesh food,
tea and coffee and alcoholic liquors. As
regares remedies, there are no medicinal
agents which are ofany permanent value
in ,.be treatment of chronic rbeumatiiim.
The disease can be remedied only by
regimen—that is, by diet and training.
A simple dietary, consisting of fruits,
grains and nuts, and particularly the free
use of fruits. inust be placed in the first
rank among the radical curative meas-
ures. Water, if taken in abundance, is
also a nieane of washing out the accumu-
lated poleons.
An iadividual afflicted with rheuma-
tism In any form should live, so far as
possiale, an out-ofdoor life, taking daily
a sufficient amount of exercise to induce
vigorous perspiration. A cool morning
sponge, followed by vigorous rubbing,
and a moist peek to the joints most seri-
ously affeeted, at night, are measures
which are worthy of a faithful trial.
Every person who is suffering from this
disease should give the matter immediate
attention, as it is a malady which is pro-
gressive, and is one of the most potent
causes of premature old ago and general
physical deterioration. A meri can nervous-
ness is probably more often due to uric
