Apple Was The Fruit Of The Gods
When you eat an Apple you are taking into your system albumen, sugar, gum, mallic acid,
gallic acid, fibre, water and phosphorus. This sounds very alarming doesn't it? But neverthe
less nothing could be better; the mallic acid neutralizes the excess of chalky matter caused by
too much meat -thereby helps to keep you young.
Apples are good for the complectiou; their acid drives out the noxious matter which cause
skin eruptions; t?iey are good for your brain, which those same noxious matters, if retained,
render sluggish. More-over, the acid of 'the apple diminishes the assidity of the stomach that
comes with some forms of indigestion. «
Surely the ancients were not wrong when they esteemed the Apple the Fruit of the Gods;
the magic renewer of youth through which the Gods restored, when they felt themselves grow
ing old and feeble.
Order a box now for Christmas. We have a dozen varieties to choose from with prices
from $2.00 to $2.75.
