to put down the additional fact, that Mus

EXCELLENT PROPERTIES OF THE APPLE.-
Ripe apples form an exceedingly whole

ing weak stomach. They are excellent
in dysentory. aud equally efiicacious in pa
.trid and malignant fevers, also for indiges
tion Inldiseases of the chest, they are O
considerable service, either roasted, boiled
or stewed, and may be employed in dccoc
tions, which, if drank plentifully, tend tC
abate fever and relieve coughs With re
gard TO their sensible properties, apples
have been divided into spicy, acidulateC
and watery. The first contain the Ieast
proportion Of water, are Of most delicat,

perties, are not apt to excite hatulence
Pippins, on the contrary, though nfordinE
more nutriment, are more fbrous, and con
