A FRUIT DIET.
1t Assists Digestion and Relieves Dyspeptic

1t Assists Digestion and Relieves Dyspeptic
Stomachs.
One of the most salutary tendencies
of the common domestic management
in our day is that which aims at assign
ing to fruit favored place in our
ordinary diet. The nutrient value of
such food, in virtue of its component
starchy and saccharine materials, is
generally admitted; snd while these
substances can not be said to equal in
accumulative force the more sslid in
gradients Of meat and animal fat, they
are similarly useful in their own degree
and have, moreover, the advantage OF
greater digestibility. Their conversion
within the tissues is also attended with
less friction and pressure on the con-
structive machinery. Almost all per-
sons in fairly normal health may par
take of sound and ripe fruit in greater
or less amount. Except in certain
cases, indeed, there is practically
no exact limit to its consumption under
these circumstances. Among such
exceptions may be noted the gouty and
rheumatic habits of body. A tend
ency to diarrhea or dysenteric his
tory obviously forbids the free or fire.
quent use of fruit. Dyspeptic stomacEs,
on the other hand, are usually bene
flied by moderate allowance of this
light and stimulating fare. 1t must be
remembered, moreover, that every
fruit is not equally wholesome, let the
digestion be as powerful as it may.
Nuts, for example, consisting as they
do, for the most part. of condensed
albuminoid and fatty matters, can not
compare in acceptance, either by the
palate or the stomach, with other more
succulent kinds, even though they con-
tain in the same bulk far greater
amount of nutriment. A little of such
fruit is enough for digestion, and that
little is best cooked. Nevertheless, if
we take fruit as a whole, ripe and
sound, of course, and consider its vari-
ETY., its lightness and nourishing prop
critics, whether eaten alone or with
other food, and its cheap abundance,
we can not hesitate to add our voice in
support of its just claims on public at
tention. London Lancet.
