FRUIT AS MEDICINE.

Et Csc Il Always AdvanGaEsous In Ger

As medicine look upon fruit as a
most valuable ally, says Popular Sci
ence Monthly. When the body is in
that breaking up condition known as
scurvy the whole medical profession
look upon fruit and fresh vegetables
as the one and only known remedy.
believe the day viii come when science
will use it very much more largely than
it does now in the treatment Of many
Of the everyday ailments.
Impure blood means govt, rheuma-
tism, skin diseases, ricketts, and other
troubles AS 1t is proved that fruit
viii purify and improve the quality Of
the blood it must follow that fruit IS
both food and medicine combined.
In fevers I use grapes and straw
ries, giving them to my patients in
small but frequent doses-Oranges and
baked apples If the others are not OBJ
tainable. For rheumatism plenty OF
lemons are invaluable.
White girls with miserable, pallid
compilations want a quart of strawber-
ries q day; where these are not obtain
able bananas, which contain much iron,
are a good substitute.
Probably of all fruits the apple stands
unrivaled for general purposes in the
household; either raw or cooked 1t can
be taken by nearly everybody, and It
contains similar properties to the 0ther
more delicate fruits. To my mind the
pear is more easily digested than the
apple and for eating uncOoked is SUI
perior to it,
Dried fruits should be used when
green cannot be obtained. If soaked
for a few hours before cooking they
make a capital substitute for fresh
fruits and they come cheaper to the
consumer.
For preserving fruit look upon bot
ting In glass bottles as the coming
thing. Not by the use Of chemicals,
such as saIicylic and bOracic acids and
the various Dreservatives made from
them, but simply by protecting it after
cooking from the fsrmentive germs In
the atmosphere. It keeps for years,
turns out even more palatable than
green fruit, is equally digestible and
contains all the virtues of freshly
cooked fruit Canned fruit is not SO
good; the acid of the fruit dtssolves
up tin and lead from the tin and have
seen very serious cases OF Illness as a
result. Besides, fruit should be sold
much cheaper IN bottle than IN tins, as
the bottles can be returned and used
again.

contests in several places where it is
unfair to prejudice the action of

The table given out by Mckintey's

the unelected delegations from Maine
and other states which are for Reed,
but this would STAN such an estimate
as fraudulent
