This diet is tentative only and may be modified to suit the individual. If improvement is manifest after a month or two of the restricted diet, steak, roast beef, and eggs may be gradually added. If, when the urine is examined, the use of meat causes a return of albumin, it must be dropped.
In these cases, active outdoor exercise, full, deep breathing systematically practiced at intervals, a calm quiet attitude of mind and care not to overeat and to keep the bowels active will materially aid recovery.
