The true low sodium content of beer is indicated. Analysis of 25 representative samples of beer reveals an average sodium content of 6.95 mg./100 Gm. This may be compared to drinking water containing 10 mg./100 cc. used in the "low salt" diet.

The study of the urinary excretion of sodium in four patients while on a regular low sodium diet and while on a low sodium diet including beer indicates that more accurate salt restriction is obtained on the diet in which beer is included.

The use of beer in some therapeutic situations is discussed.
