in many cases without other special
treatment. Now Is the time to begin the
fruit-jnice cure, which is strengthening and
more easily absorbed than when whole
fruit is eaten. 1t supplies the increased
nutrition which the great doctors are just
finding out is demanded for the cure of
debil1ties and consumption. The American
Medical Association, at its late meeting,
spoke very strongly on this point. De-
bouve, the great French physician, has
shown that cOnsumptives and persons in
wasting diseases, an4Inla and spinal all
ments can digest quantities of food far in
excess of the needs of healthy organism,
and. what is more, they must have il, even
in advanced cases, if it must be given by a
stomach tube. No such nutrition can be
found for many diseases as the juice of
fresh fruits, which is charged with the acids
used in medicine, together with gelatne
and .blood-producing agents which need
the slightest effort of the system to turn
directly into the purest blood. Cherries and
peaches act most beneficially on the diges-
ton by the small amount of prussic acid and
other acid they contain. and the juice
furnishes medicinal properties of the fruit
without the fibre which may distress weak
organs. If women will learn to resort to
the fruit cure. season by season, they will
not need to write for directions to remove
liver spots. The fruit press ought to stand
in every orchard town, and owners would
no longer be distressed how to dispose of
perishable fruits, plums. nectarines. rasp-
