ESSAY or R. MCPHERSON.
need not make an apology for not
being prepared to do justice to the sub
ieot, as everyone acquainted with me
down and take the time that justice to
this subject demands. The Importance
Of our raisin industry 10 such that il
should command the careful considers
ton Of the best minds OF our country.
The importance is felt not only in the
fact that it Is an industry which may
support an immense number Of people,
but It now has and will have much to do
with the health of our whole country.
This latter point Is well worth the ex-
animation and study Of the most scien-
tito minds, az the result OF their invss- |
tigation of the subject would be Of
great benefit, by proving the health |
giving properties of cur raisln grapes.
It IL an established fact that where the
best raisins are produced there is the |
best place for people suffering from lung
or bronchial Affections II Il known,
too, that in cases OF exhaustion hand. |
ful Of raisius will de very much 20 re-
vivs sunksn energiesI and It l. true. too.
that whore the nervous system has been
depressed for long time the continued
uss of raisins will very much improve
its tone. Tnsrs il high authority on
this subjec. and for the benefit Of both
producers and consumers this subject
should be studied and the knowledge
acqulred diifussd all over the coun-
try. Were this properly understood the
consumption OF raisins would be very
much greater than ct present. Among
ourselves and in our own families II We
would put them into more general use
We would more thoroughly realize the
benefit. Let any one try them when on
Q camping trip. A handful OF raisins,
piece Of bread and cup Of water Is rel
bhed; and work can be performed on
such diet as easily a. upon diet Of
animal food. | would not adopt the
vegetarian system, but believe that
much benefit would result from q more
liberal use Of raisins In our diet.
