virtuea OF Spinach.

Prominent specialists claim that
spinach is the most precious of vegeta-
bles on account of its medicinal and
Strengthening properties. The emol-
lient and laxative virtues of spinach,
owing probably to the salts of potash
it contains, have been long known. It
is excellent for the liver, and. as a
consequence, freshens the complexion.
Some vegetables contain a relatively
large dose of iron. According to Bous-
singault, the proportion is .00074 OF
iron in 100 parts OF French beans.
.c0S3 in 100 parts of lentils, and spin
ach very much more. The chemist
Bunge has proved that spinach and
yolk Of eggs are proportionately rich
er in digestible and assimilable iron
than are the most renowned ferrugi-
nous remedies. Its great value and
growing importance is shown in the
fact that spinach is already an ac.iya
ingredient in several new tcsics.
