The modern civilized world is dying of too much meat. Some people are afraid to eat fruit, thinking that fruit and diarrhea are always associated; when if they understood the true cause of diarrhea, they would know that it is earned by eating meat, in hot weather meat putrefies very quickly, and during this process alkaloids are formed, which are very dangerous, act ing as emetics and purgatives. It is true fruit eaten green or between meals will interfere with digestion, and cause bowel-troubles, but use fruit that, is perfectly ripe at men! time and only beneficial results will follow. Acids pre vent calcareous degenerations, keeping the bones elastic, as wed as preventing the accumulation of earthly matters. Fruit is a perfect food when

fully ripe, and if it were in daily use from youth to age, there would be less gout, gallstones and stone in the biad der. Taken in the morning, fruit is as helpful to digestion as.it is refreshing. Tie newly a wakened function finds in it an o\\ ot of such light labor as will exercise without seriously taxing its energies, a..d the tissues of the stomach acquire, at little cost, a gain of nourishment which will sustain those energies in later and more serious operations. It D a an excellent plan, with this object in view, to add a kittle bread to 1 le fruit eaten —Doston Herald.
