In extreme cases, it may be necessary to follow this strict regime for two weeks. When the patient begins to eat a little starch, potatoes and bread are re-instated first. Sugar is kept out of the diet, except the little in fruit and vegetables, until the urine shows no trace of it.

The stomach and intestines are so closely allied that, where one is affected, the other is liable to affection also, and the dietetic treatment is regulated accordingly. Yet generally speaking, in stomach disorders the quantity of protein is limited; in intestinal disorders the starches, sugar and fats are limited. Since the office of the kidneys is to pass from the system the soluble salts and the nitrogenous waste, which dissolve in water, the work of the kidneys in most conditions is aided by a copious drinking of water. Since uric acid is stimulated by the kidneys, the proteins should be restricted in the diet, particularly those formed from the glands of animals,—as liver, sweetbreads, kidneys, also brains. Potatoes, green vegetables, stone fruits and cranberries aggravate an acute condition. * * * * * =Acute Nephritis.= In case of inflammation of the kidneys the excretions are interrupted. In this event the quantity of water should be limited to three to four glasses a day. In the event that the kidneys will not excrete the water, the pores of the skin must be kept freely open by sweat baths to assist in the elimination of waste. Dr. Hall recommends a milk and cream diet of from three to seven pints a day, for a few days, according to the case,—two parts of milk to one of cream. If the urine is scanty, he reduces it to one and one half pints a day, taken in four or five installments. After the three to seven days of milk diet he gradually introduces starches and fats.
