WHAT IT MEANS TO EAT AN APPLE
'Do you know what you are
| j eating?" said the doctor to the
little girl.
"An apple of course."
; 'You tire eating,” said the
1 doctor, "ulhutnen sugar, gum,
malic acid, gallic acid, fiber, wa
ter and phosphorus.”
"I hope those things are good,
they sound alarming?”
"Nothing could be better. You
j ; ate, i observed, rather too much
j ■ moat for d.nner. The malic acid
! i oi apples neutralizes the excess
of chaky matter caused by eat
ing too much meat, and thereby
helps to keep you sound. Apples
are good for your complexion.
Their acids drive out the noxi
ous matters which cause skin
eruptions. They are good for
your brain, which those same
noxious matters, If retained,
render sluggish. Moreover, the
acid3 of the apple diminish the
acidity of the stomach that
comes with some forms of in
digestion.
Then, too, the phosphorus, of :
which the apple contains a larg
er percentage than any other
fruit or vegetabe, renews the i
essential nervous matter of the
Drain and the spinal column.
"Oh, the ancients were not
wrong when they esteemed the
apple the food of the Gods—the
magic renewer of youth!- -to
which the Gods have resortpd
thMi they felt themselves old
and feeble.
"I think I’ll have an apple,” '
concluded the doctor.
