Apples and insomnia

A medical writer declares that TIN
apple is such a common fruit that very
few persons become familiar with it's
medicinal properties The best thing
just before going to bed. he says, is to
eat an apple. Persons uninitiated in
the mysteries Of the fruit" he con-
tinues, ARE likely to throw up their
hands In horror at the visions of dys-
pepsia which such a suggestion may
summon up, but no harm can come even
to a delicate system by the eating OF
n ripe and juicy apple before going to
bed The apple is excellent brain food,
because it has more phosphoric acid I'm
easily digested shape than any other
fruit 1t excites the action of the liver,
promotes sound and healthy sleep and
thoroughly disinfects the mouth This
is not all; the apple prevents indiges-
ton and throat diseases"
