odd, but it is fact corroborated by
physicians that peaches are both food
and medicine. peaches are a tonic, an
aperient,a a food and drink combined"
says an esteemed contemporary. They
aid the digestion. They reduce the red
ness of the nose. They are good for
biliousness. They aid the blood and
improve the complexion. Peaches were
never better or sweeter or cheaper than
they are now. Feast upon them while
you can.
