One of the effects of animal alimentation is to provoke a condition of acidity of the urine, while the use of vegetable diet renders it alkaline. The ordinary reaction of human urine is acid, and it is customary to call this the normal reaction, because it is that which is met with almost exclusively among populations nourished on a mixed diet. But the reaction becomes neutral or alkaline when the use of animal food is abandoned, and with the acidity disappear also the concretions, which, in accumulating, constitute lithiasis.1 The quality of the ingesta has then an enormous influence on the production of gravel; and we know that uric acid, the presence of which in excess constitutes the essential character of uric lithiasis and of gout, results from the imperfect combustion of nitrogenous matters, for these, being incompletely oxydised, form uric acid instead of the urea which would be normally produced. We must then expect to find in persons addicted to the ingestion of large quantities of animal food, an excess of uric acid, and consequently a tendency to gout, calculi, and nephretic colic.
