l. RELATIVE VALUE.
The celebrated French physician,
of. Dupousy, divided fruit into five
classes, each one Of them possessing
Its own hygienio value, the acid, the
sweet, the astringent and the. mealy.
IN The sss:. the aoid oiasu,. are inoiud-
cd cherries, raspbersies, strawberries,
gooaeberries, peaches, apples, lemons,
lines, oranges and the pomslo. To ell
OF these he asoribes great merit, but
cherries he prohibits 70 anyone who
has neuralgia Of the stomach. Straw
berries and raspberries he highly re-
commesds 2cr those who are OF bill
ious or gouty temperament, but de-
nies them to ell ia whom diabetes is
present or saspeoted. As to piun,s,
DR.. Dupony considers them Of spee-
ial hygienio value, and often q pre-
ventivs Of gout aud Of some forms of
rheumstism. =.
But to the grape, this great ply
sioian, like many others, gives tho
first place, and he lie one OF the most
ardent advocates OF the treatment gen.
orally known as the "gsape cure"
Eor person to set to work with the
deliberate intention Of eating grape
a minute, for full hour, that is, just
sixty grapes in the time specified, and
to repeat this odd performance three
or four times day, does seem like @
rather monotonous performance.
But it pays, pays we'll, too, for the
grape cure certainly does work won
ders for thin, nervous anemio people,
whose digestive maohihery has got out
OF order from worry or. overwork:
The grape cure is no fad, no quaok
prescription, but form Of cure reoog-
nized aud adopted by many emiennt
physicians. Grapes are positively
the most digestible of all fruits, not
even excepting the famed apple.
iu the regular grape cure the pa
tient makes an exclusive diet Of grapes
for several days, commencing with a
daily consumption of from one 60 two
pouads, and increasing gradually to
eight or ten pounds. After Q few
days of this diet marked imrrove-
ment in the general health is almost
always seen. The patients appetite
improves, digestion becomes easy and
rapid, and there is an increased CO:
pacity to Withstand the fatigue Of
outdoor exercise. s. The grape cure is
especially recommended for people
who are auem1o, ,sdyspeptic, or con-
sumptive, and for those having liver
trouble aud gout. .,,. ~: q. y,
