While the vegetarian regards meat as a

vegetarian. To him uncooked fruit is the
only natural food, and, though but a small
body, men do exist in this cold country
who eat nothing but fruit. For a long
time they have found their chief oppo-
nents in medical men, who affirm that for
equity patients fruit is dangerous, some
even asserting that fruit may actually en-
gender govt. Now, however, a little ray
of sunshine penetrates the gloom where
they sit In glorious isolation racking nuts
and chewing raisins with all the sylvan
simplicity of monkeys.
A medical man has arisen to declare
that he has frequently cured govt with
grapes and oranges. Further than this,
he declares that his standing advice to

by eating it. particularly by patients who
have long ago shut the tempting apple
and pear from their regimen. Therefore.
though the fruitarian wax holder for this
medical testimony, the equity would be
wise TO take their fruit sparingly at first
