FRUITS AS FOOD AND MEDICINE.
Ofall the fruits with which VIC are blessed,
the peach is the most delicious and digesti-
BILE. There is nothing more palatable,
wholesome and medicinal than good ripe
peaches. They should be ripe, but notover
ripe and half rotten and Of this kind they
NAV make part of either meal or be cat
en- between meals but it is better to make
them part of the regular meals. 1t is a mis-
taken idea that no fruit should be eaten at
breakfast. 1t would be far better if our neo.
ple would eat less bacon and grease at break
fast and more fruit. In the morning there
is an acrid state of the secretions, and
nothing is 50 we'll calculated 70 correct this
rs cooling sub-acid fruits, such as peaches,
apples, etc. Still most of us have been
taught that eating fruit before breakfast is
highly dangerous. How the Idea originated
| do not know, but it is certainly great
error, contrary TO both reason and facts.
The apple is one of the best of fruits.
Baked or stewed apples will generally agree
with the most delicate stomach and are an
excellent medicine in many casscs OF SICK
ness. Green, or halfripe apples stewed and
sweetened are pleasant to the taste, nour-
ishipg, cooling and laxative, far superior, in
MANY cases. to the abominable doses Of salts
aud oil usually given in fever and other dis
eases. Raw apple and dried apples stewed,
are better for constipation than most liver
pills.
Oranges are very acceptable to most
stomachs. having all the advantage OF the
acid alluded to; but the juice alone should
be taken rejecting the pulp.
The same may be said of lemons, pome-
pranates, and all that class. Lemonade IS
The best drink in fevers, and when thlcken-
ed with sugar, is better than syrup OF squllls
and other nauseous drugs in many cases OF
cough.
and are much more pleasant and safe than
blue mass and ''liver regulators. Ihe juice
should be used alone, rejecting the skins.
The small seeded fruits, such as black
berries, figs, raspberries, and strawberries,
NAV be classed among the best foods and
medicines. The sugar in them is nutritious,
the acid is cooling and purifying, and the
seeds are laxative. We would be much the
gamers if we would look more to our gardens
and orchards for our medicines and less to
our drug stores. To cure fever or act on
the kidneys, no febrifuge or diuretic is
superior to watermelons, which may, with
very few exceptions, be taken in sickness
and in health, in almost unlimited quaint
ties, not only without injury, but with posi-
tive benefit. But in using them, the water
or iuice should be taken, excluding the pulp
and the melon should be fresh and ripe, but
not over-ripe and STALE. ). H1tson, N
