Treatment For Uric Acid

Exercise in the open air -walk - plenty of fresh air by night as well as by day. Breathe deeply. Bathe often; rub the body thoroughly afterward; the skin should play an important part in elimination of uric acid.

To prevent the formation of an over supply of uric acid, be careful of diet. The first thing, do not eat meat. You may eat nuts with salt, fresh ripe fruit; best of all, apples unpeeled; all cooked fruits, but very little sugar in them; all vegetables that grow above ground (not those that grow below ground); greens are especially good, with good cider vinegar. Bread may be eaten in moderation, graham and entire wheat best, good water crackers, cereals of all kinds; eggs should be used sparingly, and in severe eases not at all. Pish is good, also shellfish. No pastry or sweet cakes; milk and cheese may be used freely, also buttermilk. Drink no coffee, tea, malt or alcoholic liquors. Drink pure water and a great deal of it; sometimes it is well to use lithia tablets.
