PINEAPPLE AS A CURATIVE.

1t has long been known that the pineapple is
one of the healthiest Of fruits but It's real medci.
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 use of the fruit H certain forms of dysprp-
STA. On the casein of milk pineapple Juice nets
as digestive in almost the same manner as rem
net and the action is also we'll illustrated by plac
