Jasper County Democrat, Volume 3, Number 2, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 April 1900 — An Apple Eater. [ARTICLE]

An Apple Eater.

During a visit to the south of England a gentleman was met with who related a unique and most interesting experience in dietetics, says Chambers’ Journal. It was that for the last three years he had lived on one meal a day, and that meal was composed chiefly of apples. Further astonishment was evoked by bls reply to my question as to what he drank, when he stated that the Juices of the apples supplied him with all the moisture or drink he needed; this, he claimed, was of the purest kind, being in reality water distilled by nature, and flavored with the pleasant aroma of the apple. He partook of his one meal about three o'clock in the afternoon, eating what he felt satisfied him, .the meal occupying him from twenty minutes to half an hour. He looked the picture of healthful manhood, and Is engaged daily In literary work.
