FOOD FOR THE MASSES.

Many people are aware that honey,
either simple or prepared in combina-
ton with other ingredients, is de-
sirable medical agent in certain cases,
as in diseases Of the throat, especially
these of a mild nature, like hoarse-
ness and a dry, inGamed condition;
but not SO many are aware that as a
regular article Of food 1t has a prop
hylactic and even therapeutic value
which can scarcely be oVerestimated.
Many sweets are to be taken with
caution. as they are liable to impair
the action of the stomach, or other
wise injuriously affect the system;
but honey may at any time be eaten
freely, according to the taste of the
recipient, and will be found corrective
and beneficial. In some cases, espe-
cially where the appetite has been
pampered and demoralized by hurtful
indulgence In unwholesome sweets or
other foods. the taste for honey will
need to be cultivated: but 1t will al
most invariably grow with the restora-
tion Of the general physical tone and
become an individual characteristic.
