In tubercular subjects, maltreatment will often transform an acute case of diarrhea into one of so-called chronic diarrhea, or intestinal tuberculosis. In these cases there is a glandular involvement, and there will be general symptoms pointing to the tubercular character of the disease. An increase in temperature of the body, with high pulse-rate and diarrhea, will cause a breaking down that will be very much on the order of the breaking-down of patients who suffer from pulmonary tuberculosis. The disease, when once thoroughly established, will be as difficult to relieve and cure as pulmonary tuberculosis. It will have to be treated on general principles. The eating must be watched, and the digestive power consulted regarding the kinds of food administered. Fats, oils, sweets, and starches will not be taken care of well in such cases. Only foods that are well taken care of in the stomach will agree. These are the cases in which animal foods and products act best. They are truly types of disease that can be handled best by using meat and milk, with fruit and vegetable juices.
