HOW TO GET WELL AND KEEP WELL.
The Latest Fad : Get Rid of Uric Acid. Mrs. C. W. Earle, in a recent number of “ East and West,” writing on “Food in Relation to Health,” declares that she can answer the question : “ How are health and strength to be obtained, how are the young to keep well and even the old to suffer less ? ” She says: — Harvey's discovery of the circulation of the blood altered the whole medical science of the world, and I believe that in time the new theory, that the presence of an excess of uric acid in the body is the chief cause of the low state of health so prevalent in all climates, will be universally accepted as an incontestable fact. The diet 1 suggest, by curing the acidity of the blood, acts in the same way ; it draws the uric acid from the soft tissues or from the joints and muscles, as in the case of gout, rheumatism and neuralgia, into the circulation, and gives it a chance of being eliminated. Generally speaking, three meals a day are quite sufficient, and the best plan for an alteration of diet is as follows : Ist Stage. Give up tea, coffee, and meat soup. Replace by milk, milk and water, soups made with milk, etc. 2nd Stage. Alter Breakfast. Leave out bacon, eggs, or fish. Replace by an increase of porridge, toast, biscuits, and breadstuffs, and half to three-quarters of a pint of milk, with some nuts.
3rd Stage. Alter Luncheon. Leave out fish and meat. Replace by an increase of toast, biscuits, bread-stuffs, and puddings, half a pint of milk and one ounce of cheese.
4th Stage. Alter Dinner. Leave out fish and meat. Replace by an increase of toast, biscuits, bread - stuffs, and puddings, a cheese dish, and a-half a pint of milk.
One of the chief causes of my enthusiasm for the diet is that there is no doubt that in time it puts an end to that sense of fatigue and lassitude so common amongst . the highly fed, and to that craving for food and stimulants which makes the missing of a meal an excessive .hardship.
