Possibilities of the EGGPLANT.

All products which are used as foods
are not esteemed solely for the amount
of nutriment or food bulk which they
contain, for some of little value for
actual working basis are not the less
useful for purposes other than pleasing
the eye or palate. And they make adj
mirable substitutes for n eats and heav-
Ter foods when the system does not re-
quire these foodStuffs, as they possess
sufficient amount of that element which
under the influence OF heat properly ap-
piled give flavor similar to well cooked
meats, and as the taste controls to a
very great extent, if not wholly, in most
cases, the appetite and desire to eat. we
are just as well satisfied and often
better nourished on these simpler food
stuffs, for in some sense all matter used
for human food, whether solid, semi
solid or liquid, meat, fruit or vegetable,
contains some nutritlve value which
may be appropriated by the system and
made to serve in maintaining an ever
balance of health
In the fruit vegetable world the
line of demarkation is often very faint

entirely as vegetables. This is the case
