 It is a matter of common knowled9e that fruit juices exert q most beneficial effect in the treatment of scurvy and sim liar ailments, and their action on the ty- phoid bacillus and the colon bacillus. which are the cause of many forms of acute intestinal and other diseases, has been studied on considerable scale by Dr. Reynolds, Health Commissioner of Chicago. He finds that the juices of dilfer,, ent species of lemons vary very material iy in germicidal effect, that from some specimens requiring as much as 10 per cent to kill all the exposed germs. Lime Juice, apple juice and grape juice all have more or less inhibiting effect. but the bottled grape juice sold at grocery stores gave the most conclusive results. Dis titled and tap water were infected with the bacteria. and bottled grape juice ada ed in proportions varying from l to per cent. Examination showed that some brands had killed the germs at the end of the first minute, as did also the lemon juice of a proper strength.
