Gbe Value of
Fruit as a Tonic


The curative value of fruit Is becom
ing more and more insisted upon by
those who make a study of dietetics.
Grapes are recommended for the dys-
peptic, the consumptivc, the an9mic.
and for those with tendency to gout
and liver troubles. Plums, also, are
said to be cure for gouty and rheu-
matte tendencies. The acid fruits, es-
peclally lemons and oranges, are par
ricularly good for stomach troubles and
rheumatism.
II is not sufficient, say the advocates
of the fruit cure, to eat small guam
tity at breakfast or dinner. One should
eat from two to eight pounds of grapes
n day, or, II oranges are the curative
agency. the number to be eaten in n
day may vary fIUm three to six.
A healthy condition of the body de-
pends upon a perfect balance of foods
taken. There are many other factors
entering into the question, but this
feature must not be forgotten. Few
