PINEAPPLE AS A CURATIVE.

It has long been known that the pineapple Is
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. 1t 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 of the fruit in certain forms of dyspep-
sa. On the casein of milk pineapple juice acts
digestive in almost the manner 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 a
few hours its character is completely changed.
In dphtheritic throat and Group pineapple
juice has come to be very largely relied upon in
countries where the fruit is common. The false
membranes which the closing of the throat
seem to be dissolved by the fruit acids and relief
is almost immediate.
