Fruit at Break fast.

the use of fruit early in the day; but
know from careful observation that it is
positively injurious to a great number OF

of fruits of all sorts; but thin, pale, cold

health through a long course Of fruit eat
ing early in the day.
Just consider for a moment the alb
surdity of beginning the day with an or

or milk. The acid of the fruit curdles the

most acute pain. ] believe that fruit and
cereals and milk should never be taken one
after the other. II it is more agreeable to
the palate to take the fruit omit the other.
