name of the country on the back and

PINEAPPLE AS A CURATIVE.

It has long been known that the pineapple is
one of the healthiest of fruits but its real medici
nal qualities probably have never been realized In
Hawaii experiments have been made to determine
something of these properties. It has been found
that the fruit Of the pineapple contains digestive
principle closely resembling pepsin in its action.
and to this is probably due the beneficial results
of the use of the fruit in certain forms of dyspep
sia. On the casein of milk pineapple juice acts
as a digestive in almost the same manner as rem
net and the action is also well illustrated by pac-
ing thin piece of uncooked beef between two
slices Of fresh pineapple. where in the course OF
few hours its character is completely changed.
In diphtheritic sore throat and Group pineapple
juice has come to be very largely relied upon In
countries where the fruit is common The false
membranes which cause the closing of the throat
seem to be dissolved by the fruit acics and relief
Is almost immediate.
