How TO Eat FRvIT.-A medical journal OF
hgh authority, says that no liquid Of any de-
scfiptlon should be dratk within an hour Of
ter eating fruits, nor anything else be eaten
witain two or three Lours altsrwards-lhus
time being allowed for them to pass out Of
the stomach, the system derives from them
all their enlvening, cooling and opening in
huences. The great rule is, eat fruits II their
natufa! state, without eating or drinking any
thing for at least two urs afterward With
these restrictions fruits may be eaten with
moderation during any hour OF the day, and
without getting tired Of them, or ceasng to
be benefited by them during the whole sea.
