RIPE FRUIT AND DYSENTERY,

There is a pernicious prejudice with
which people are too oten imbued 1t u.s.
that fruits are injurious in the dysentery-
that they produce and increase it. There
is not, perhaps, more false prejudice
Bad fruits, and that which is imperfectly
ripened, many occasion cholics, and some
times diarrhea-but nerer epidemic dysen-
terry. Ripe fruits of all kinds, especially
in the summer, are the true preservatives
against this malady. The greatest injury
they can do, is in dissolving the humors,
and particularly the bile, of which they
are the true solvents, and occasion dl-
arrhea. But even this diarrhea is pro-
lection against the dysentery. Whenever
the dysentery has prevailed, ! have eaten
less animal food and more fruit, and have
never had the slightest attack. l have
seen eleven patients IN one house; nine
were obedient to the directions given, and
and ate fruit they recovered. The grand
mother, and child she was most partial to,
died. She prescribed for the child burnt
brandy and oil, powerful aromatlcs, and
forbade the use of fruit. She followed the
same course herself, and met the like fate.
A minister, attacked with dysentery, ate
three pounds OF red currants between seven
O'Clock in the morning and nine IN the
evening next day he was entirely cured
