pulp has delicious refrigerating taste.

should also be cool when eaten, but not
too cool, so as to produce congestion.
When partaken of in immoderate
quantities it is likely to result in

melon should be perfectly ripe and
sweet when eaten, and If sprinkled with
pepper or nutmeg the stomach will be
stimulated and digestion promoted.
