During the febrile stage of acute articular rheumatism the diet should consist mainly of farinaceous and mucilaginous preparations, with lemonade and carbonic acid water as drinks. The cloths applied to the joints should be changed when they become saturated with sweat, and in changing them the patient should be protected from the air.

Perhaps his most prudent course (we consider ourselves bound to give discreet advice, for perhaps we may have led ...
