FRUIT AND THE CHOLERA.
With Cieanliuess and Riprness Assured.
Fruit IL Not Dangerous.

MANY people are grossly mistaken
in their notions about fruit eating In
its relation to cholera" remarked my
friend, the doctor. as he helped HIM
self to another peach. They have an
idea" he continued, that fruit taken
into the stomach renders the system
more susceptible to cholera, and thus
invites an attack of the disease. Moth
ing could be wider of the mark. 1t is
not against fruit itself. but against its
condition that physicians object dur
ing hot weather and in cholera sea-
sons. Fruit that is ripe. clean and
sound may be eaten safely at all
times, while that which is unripe, I'M
clean or decayed is always dangerous,
no matter whether there is cholera in
the neighborhood or not. The custom
so generally observed OF cutting on the
family supply Of fruit merely because
cholera threatens an invasion Of our
ports is foolish and reprehensible in the
extreme.
"Fruit is an important article OF u
natural and best summer diet, and to
abolish il from the table during the
hot weather, substituting for it a lot
of other food products of heavier,
coarser and less tempting character, is
both foolish and cruel. Ny advice is,
don't give up the fruit. Make sure
that it is ripe and clean and then you
may eat it freely without risk. The
Juices OF our native fruits instead Of
being facilitating to the stomach, are
among the best tonics for it. They
are cleansing. cooling and anti
seorbutic in their action. They may
never have cured = case of cholera,
but when taken after proper care in
the matter OF cleanliness they never
led to an attack of that or any other
disease.
The one great evil to guard against
in fruit. as in everything else we eat,
is ~uncleanliness. Don't buy fruit from
street corner dealers whose stock lies
| all day exposed to the foul air of the
curbs and cutters, where it is handled
and picked over by every person who
stops to buy an orange or a peach.
Buy of your grocer. even If his prices
are 4 little higher, and trust TO his
integrity and business tact TO give
you fruit that is ripe, cool, clean and
fresh.
Above all things. beware Of the
pedlers who with carts and trays haunt
the side streets and rear areas offer
inc fruit which is as n rule unsolnd or
of second quality. and not unlikely TO
have passed through many hands,
some of them foul and unclean. II is
! through such dealers that disease is
spread. and when it happens that way
the senseless cry goes up that every
body must stop eating fruit. 1t is
much as if we should all be told to stop
eating meat merely because Il neigh
Dor was served with n tainted steak OF
a bit Of immature veal by mis- butch
