The apple is such n common fruit that
few persons are familiar with its re-
markable medicinal properties. Every
body ought to know that the very best
thing he can do is to eat apples just be-
fore going to bed. The apple is ex-
cellent brain food, because it has more
phosphoric acid, in easily digestable
shape, than any other fruit known. 1t
excites the action of the liver, pro-
notes sound and healthy sleep and
thoroughly disinfects the mouth. 1t
also agglutinates the surplus acids of
the stomach, helps the kidney secretion
and prevents calculous growth, while
it obviates indigestion and is one of
the best preventives of disease Of the
