Our bodies require a certain amount

found in the best form in fresh veg
etables and fruits. Lettuce is one of
the most important of ALL for it aids
the cleansing of the blood. and re-
freshes the entire organism. 1t should
not be used with too much vinegar to
obtain the greatest benefit. Sorrel an!
spinach are to be highly recommended
for enriching the blood, especially in
cases of aenemia- 1t should be noted
that sorrel and spinach ought not to
be covered while cooking. as otherwise
the poisonous matter in the leaves can
not escape. The value of asparagus
as q blood purifier and agent acting on
the Kidneys is well known. Beans
should be eaten only when young. as
when they are old they are difficult
to digest. The Importance of mixing
vegetables with the meat eaten is not
the least important part in the use of
the latter. They aid the digestion even
of the meat. Apples are very rich in
iron, as are all of the fruits. and veg
etables that have any red coloring mat
ter. Beets when young and tender are
excellent. and il is said that black cur
rants are a cure for aenemia in its
earlier stages.
