STRA WBERRIES, 
Wliat a lovely refreshing fruit, and wlien we hear it is the firm belief of the highest in tlie 
medical profession that if we were to eat more we should liear less of gout, rheumatism, and other 
pains; and seeing how easy Strawberries are to grow, it should be the set determination of all to 
cultivate their own, and have them with all their beautiful freshness, morning and evening, as long as 
possible, and when so, they are one of the greatest charms and benefits that mankind can partake of.
