 present to unite and form the necessary bases. 



The dietetic indications are for a mixed diet with a preponderance of 

 vegetables, fats, and carbohydrates, and low protein, of a purin free nature. 

 Liver, brain, sweetbreads, kidneys and iish roe are forbidden ; also game, 

 pickled fish, shell fish, sauces, highly flavored foods, mushrooms, broths, 

 beef-tea, meat, extracts, coffee, tea, alcoholic drinks, cocoa, chocolate and 

 asparagus. Much salt, and all salt fish and salt meat should be avoided

 abundance of salt.

 peas, beans, and fruits are especially good. Enough water should be given
