Sodium
Table salt is a combination of two minerals - sodium and chloride Your body needs some sodium to work properly. It helps with the function of nerves and muscles. It also helps to keep the right balance of fluids in your body. Your kidneys control how much sodium is in your body. If you have too much and your kidneys can't get rid it, sodium builds up in your blood. This can lead to high blood pressure. High blood pressure can lead to other health problems.
Most people in the U.S. get more sodium in their diets than they need. A key to healthy eating is choosing foods low in sodium. The Dietary Guidelines recommend that most adults eat less than 2.3 grams per day. That equals about 1 teaspoon of table salt a day. Some people are more sensitive to the effects of salt than others and should eat less. This includes people who have high blood pressure, diabetes, or kidney problems, or are African American or over age 50. Reading food labels can help you see how much sodium is in prepared foods.

PHOSPHATES
Calcium Phosphate plays an important part in the animal econ omy in supplying the principal part of the solid framework of the body. Hence phosphates constitute an essential part of our food. In some diseased conditions the system fails to assimilate from the ordi nary food suflicient of these compounds to supply the daily waste, and in these conditions the deficiency must be made up by the use of chemicalfonds consisting of combinations of the phosphates of cal. cium, sodium, potassium and iron3

ANOREXIA
Ascertain and if possible remove cause. In absence of a malarial influence or of local inflammatory disease, prescribe a simple bitter tonic or a mineral acid, with outdoor life and appropriate exercise; Elixir Gentian and Phosphoric Acid. Eupeptic Hypophosphites Elixir Pepsin Compound, B 2, Effewescent Granules Sodium Phos phate are remedies likely to be useful. Lawn Tennis may do more than medicine. and a change of boarding place may be the best prescription of all.3

BITES AND STINGS OF INSECTS
Alkaline lotions give relief; use a weak solution of ammonia. Alkal-amiseptine, diluted with an equal volume of water, sodium bicarbonate (10 grs. to the 11. oz.), sodium borate (10 to 20 grs. to fl oz.); carbolated oil or ointment also has a soothing effect.3

BLEPHARITIS
Remove crusts by careful use of a solution of sodium borate (8 grs. to fl. oz.), then apply Iodosyl ointment (6 per cent.) or a dilute oint ment of yellow oxide of mercury (1 gr. to drm.) or an ointment con taining in each drachm 2 grs. of precipitated sulphur and 1.5 grs. of resorcin. For accompanying conjunctivitis, eye drops containing boric acid or sodium borate. Correct refractive errors if present.3

BROMIDROSIS
Sponge daily with solution of borax containing a little ammonia or sodium bicarbonate to cleanse; follow with antiseptine or other local antiseptic. As dusting powder use zinc oleate with boric acid, or talcum powder with boric and benzoic or salicylic acids.3

HEMATURIA
For hemorrhage from the bladder, the most eflicient remedies are fluid extract ergot, oil erigeron, gallic acid, cannabis indica and camphor (5 to 10 gr. doses). Astringent injections are not to be ad vised except in extreme cases, but epinephrine hydrochloride may be used thus. In malarial hematuria, sodium hyposulphite is recom mended, 5 to 15 grains four or five times a day.3
