THE APPLE AS MEDICINE. 
The apple is such a common fruit that few persons are 
familiar with its remarkably etticacioos medicinal properties. 
Everybody ought to know that the very best thing he can do 
is to eat apples just before going to bed. The apple is 
excellent brain food, because it has more phosphoric acid, in 
an easily digestible shape, than any other fruit known. It 
excites the action of the liver, promotes sound and healthy 
sleep, and thoroughly disinfects the mouth. It also agglutin- 
ates the surplus acids of the stomach, helps the kidney 
secretion, and prevents calculus growth, while it obviates 
’ndigestion, and is one of the best preventives of diseases of the 
liroat. Next to lemon and orange, it is also the best 
ntidote for the thirst and craving of persons addicted to the 
Icohol and opium habit. — Tit-Bits. 
THE VALUE OF APPLES AS FOOD. 
There is probably a good dietetic reason underlying our 
cepted use of apples, or apple sauce, with pork, rich goose, 
orkshire pasty, mincemeat, and similar dishes. Apples have 
xcellent medicinal qualitie.-i. Chemically, the apple is com- 
osed of vegetable fibre, albumen, sugar, gum, chlorophyl.

mallic acid, gallic acid, lime, and much water. Furthermore, 
the German analysts say that the apple contains a larger 
percentage of phosphorus than any other fruit or vegetable. 
The phosphorus is admirably adapted for renewing the 
essential nervous matter, lecithin, of the brain and spinal cord 
It is, perhaps for the same reason, rudely understood that the 
old Scandinavian traditions represent the apple as the food of 
the pds, who, when they felt themselves to be growing feeble 
and infirm, resorted to this fruit for renewing their po°vers of 
mind and body. The acids of the apple are of signal use to 
men of sedentary habits, whose livers are sluggish in action, 
those acids serving to eliminate from the body noxious matters’, 
which, if retained, would make the brain heavy and dull, or 
bring about jaundice or tkin eruptions or similar troubles. 
The mallic acid of ripe apples (either raw or cooked) will 
neutralise any excess of chalky matter engendered by eating 
too much meat. It is also a fact that such fresh fruits as the 
apple, the pear, and the plum, when taken ripe and without 
sugar, diminish acidity in the stomach rather than provoke it 
Their vegetable sauces and juices are converted into alkaline 
carbonates, which tend to counteract acidity.
