xeaistnaI Qualittes 81 ID ttermilk.

Medicinal Qualities Of Buttermilk.
For q summer beverage there can
be nothing more healthy and
strengthening than buttermilk. 1t Is
excellent for weak or delicate stom-
achs, and far better as dinner drink
than coffee, tea or water, and, unlike
them, does not retard, but rather aids
digestion.
A celebrated physician once said
that II every one knew the value of
OF buttermilk as a drink, it would be
more freely partaken OF by persons
who drink 30 excessively Of other
beverages; and further compared its
effects upon the system to the clean
ing out Of a cook stove that has been
clogged up with ashes that have sift-
ed through. falling up every crevice
and crack, saying that the human
system is like the stove, and collects
and gathers refuse matter that can
In no way be exterminated from the
system 90 effectually as by drinking
buttermilk. It is also specific re-
medy for indigestion, soothes and
quiets the nerves, and is very somno-
lent to those who are troubled with
sleeplessness.
There is something strange In the
fact that persons who are fond OF
buttermilk never tire of singing its
praises, while those who are not fond
Of it never weary of wondering how
some people can drink it. So far as
10 possible, people should overcome
their aversion to 1t, and learn to
drink 1t for health's sake.
One gentlemen of our acquaintance
10 so extremely fond of it that we
knew him one time to drink about
three glasses, then set his glass down
with u thud, exclaiming earnestly, as
he smacked his lips |: "rhat's food
and raiment beth" While another
buttermilk enthusiast made the state
ment once that where the liver has be-
come lifeless from torpidity and iDac-
tion, and is too dead to perform its
functions, buttermilk will cause new
one to grow In. Whatever exaggera-
ted statements may have been made
concerning buttermilk, its medical
properties cannot be Overrated, and
it should be more freely used by all
whs can get 1t. Every one who values
good health should drink buttermilk
every day in warm weather, and let
tea, coffee and water alone.
For the benefit of those who are not
already aware Of it, ! may add, that
In the churning the FIRST process of de
gestion is gone through, making it one
Of the easiest and quickest of all things
to digest.
1t makes gastric juice and contains
properties that readily assimilate with
it, with little or no wear upon the di-
gestive organs.
