There is a sentence in the Talmud to the effect that the <ingdom of God
is nigh when the teacher gies the name of the author of the
information that he is #assing on! Cith eery desire to fulfil the
rabbinical #rece#t and acknowledge the sources of this booklet, 7 find
myself in a Duandary! 7f 7 make my acknowledgments duly 7 must begin
with my grandmother and 5ul#e#erEs :erbal! Following u#on those come
the results of my own and friendsE #ractical eF#erience! 'fter this 7
should, #erha#s, gie a list of the #eriodicals from whose #ages 7 hae
culled much hel#ful information! But as s#ace and memory #reclude

>Chile there is Fruit there is ho#e!>
Chile there is life$$and fruit$$there is ho#e! Chen this truth is
realised by the laity nine hundred and ninety$nine out of eery thousand
#rofessors of the healing art will be obliged to abandon their
#rofession and take to fruit$growing for a liing!
(any #eo#le hae heard aguely of the Hgra#e cureH for diseases arising
from oer$feeding, and the lemon cure for rheumatism, but for the most
#art these HcuresH remain mere names! ;eertheless it is almost
incredible to the uninitiated what may be accom#lished by the
abandonment for a time of eery kind of food in faour of fruit! 9f
course, such a #roceeding should not be entered u#on in a careless or
random fashion! Too sudden changes of habit are a#t to be attended with
disturbances that discourage the #atient, and cause him to lose #atience
and abandon the treatment without giing it a fair trial! 7n countries
where the Hgra#e cureH is #ractised the #atient starts by taking one
#ound of gra#es each day, which Duantity is gradually increased until he
can consume siF #ounds! 's the Duantity of gra#es is increased that of
the ordinary food is decreased, until at last the #atient lies on
nothing but gra#es!/+4 7 hae not isited a Hgra#e cureH centre in
#erson, but 7 hae read that it is not only #ersons suffering from the
effects of oer$feeding who find salation in the Hgra#e cure,H but that
consum#tie #atients thrie and een #ut on weight under it!
The >:erald of :ealth> stated, some few years back, that in the 6outh of
France where the Hgra#e cureH is #ractised consum#tie #atients are fed
on gra#es alone, and become Duite strong and well in a year or two! 'nd
7 hae myself known wonderful cures to follow on the ado#tion of a
fruitarian dietary in cases of cancer, tumour, gout, ecGema, all kinds
of inflammatory com#laints, and wounds that refused to heal!
:! Benjafield, (!B!, writing in the >:erald of :ealth>, says& HGarrod,
the great %ondon authority on gout, adises his #atients to take
oranges, lemons, strawberries, gra#es, a##les, #ears, etc! Tardieu, the
great French authority, maintains that the salts of #otash found so
#lentifully in fruits are the chief agents in #urifying the blood from
these rheumatic and gouty #oisons!!!! Dr! BuGGard adises the scorbutic
to take fruit morning, noon, and night! Fresh lemon juice in the form of
lemonade is to be his ordinary drinkI the eFistence of diarrhoea should
be no reason for withholding it!H The writer goes on to show that
headache, indigestion, consti#ation, and all other com#laints that
result from the sluggish action of bowels and lier can neer be cured
by the use of artificial fruit salts and drugs!
6alts and acids as found in organised forms are Duite different in their
effects to the #roducts of the laboratory, notwithstanding that the
chemical com#osition may be shown to be the same! The chemist may be
able to manufacture a Hfruit juice,H but he cannot, as yet, manufacture
the actual fruit! The mysterious life force always eades him! Fruit is
a ital food, it su##lies the body with something oer and aboe the
mere elements that the chemist succeeds in isolating by analysis! The
egetable kingdom #ossesses the #ower of directly utilising minerals,
and it is only in this HlieH form that they are fit for the consum#tion
of man! 7n the consum#tion of sodium chloride Jcommon table saltK,
baking #owders, and the whole army of mineral drugs and essences, we
iolate that decree of ;ature which ordains that the animal kingdom
shall feed u#on the egetable and the egetable u#on the mineral!
F99T;9TE&
/+4 This was the original treatmentI now other food is added, although
eFcellent results were obtained under the old >regime>!
>Fruit and the Teeth!>
7 mention the aboe because one of the objections that 7 hae heard
cited against the free use of fruit is that Hthe acids act injuriously
u#on the teeth!H )ntil 7 became a egetarian 7 used to isit a dentist
regularly eery siF months! 7 had done this for ten years, and nearly
eery tooth in my gums had its gold filling! The last time 7 isited the
dentist 7 told him that 7 had become a egetarian, and he re#lied that
he rather thought my teeth would decay Duicker in future on account of
an increased consum#tion of egetable acids! But from that day, now
nearly siF years ago, to the #resent time, 7 hae neer been near a
dentist! (y teeth seem to hae taken a new lease of life! 7t is a fact
that the acids in fruit and egetables so far from injuring the teeth
benefit them! (any of these acids are strongly antise#tic and actually
destroy the germs that cause the teeth to decay! 9n the other hand, they
do >not> attack the enamel of the teeth, while inorganic acids do!
;othing cleanses the teeth so effectually as to thoroughly chew a large
and juicy a##le!
>Fruit is a Food!>
)ntil Duite recently the majority of English$s#eaking #eo#le hae been
accustomed to look u#on fruit not as a food, but rather as a sweetmeat,
to be eaten merely for #leasure, and therefore ery s#aringly! 7t has
conseDuently been banished from its rightful #lace at the beginning of
meals! But fruit is not a Hgoody,H it is a food, and, moreoer, a
com#lete food! 'll egetable foods Jin their natural stateK contain all
the elements necessary to form a com#lete food! 't a #inch human life
might be su##orted on any one of them! 7 say Hat a #inchH because if
the nuts cereals and #ulses were ruled out of the dietary it would, for
most #eo#le, be deficient in fat and #roteid Jthe flesh and
muscle$forming elementK! ;eertheless, fruit alone >will> sustain life
if taken in large Duantities with small out#ut of energy on the #art of
the #erson liing u#on it, as witness the Hgra#e cure!H/,4 The
#ercentage of #roteid in gra#es is #articularly high for fruit!
Those #eo#le who desire to make a fruitarian dietary their daily
>regime> cannot do better than take the adice of 9! :ashnu :ara, an
'merican writer! :e says& HEery adult reDuires from twele to siFteen
ounces of dry food, >free from water>, daily! To su##ly this a Duarter
of a #ound of >shelled> nuts and three$Duarters of a #ound of any dried
fruit must be used! 7n addition to this, from two to three #ounds of
any >fresh fruit> in season goes to com#lete the dayEs allowance! These
Duantities should be weighed out !!! and will sustain a full$grown man
in #erfect health and itality! The Duantity of ri#e fresh fruit may be
slightly increased in summer, with a corres#onding decrease in the dried
fruit!H
F99T;9TE&
/,4 Recent years hae witnessed a modification of the original cure!
9ther food is now included, but 7 hae not heard that the results are
better!
>9bjections to Fruit!>
6ome egetarians object that it is #ossible to eat too much fruit, and
recommend caution in the use of it to #eo#le of nerous tem#erament, or
those who seem #redis#osed to skin ailments! 7t is true that the
consum#tion of large Duantities of fruit may a##ear to render the
nerous #erson more irritable, and to increase the eFternal
manifestations of a skin disease! But in the latter eent the fruit is
merely assisting ;ature to throw the disease out and off more Duickly,
while in the former case the real cause lies not in the fruit but in
some nere irritant, tea, for eFam#le, the effects of which are more
acutely felt under the new >regime>! The nerous system tends to become
much more sensitie u#on a egetarian, es#ecially fruitarian, diet, and
#eo#le often attribute their increased nerousness and irritability to
the diet when it is sim#ly that they now react more Duickly to #oisons!
This is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it shows that the system has
become more alert! )nder the old >regime> we tend to store u# #oisons
and im#urities in the body, but the effect of a egetable diet,
es#ecially when united with the use of distilled water, is to cause all
our diseases and im#urities to be eF#elled outwards and downwards! Tea
is a slow #oison, and so is coffee eFce#t under eFce#tional conditions
when it is used as a medicine, and then it should always be
#ale$roasted!
Fruit should always be eaten at the beginning of a meal! 'gain, when the
diet consists of a miFture of cooked and uncooked foods, the uncooked
should always be eaten first! 'lso when the meal consists of two
courses, a sweet and a saoury dish, sufferers from indigestion should
try taking the sweet course first! 7 hae known seeral cases where this
sim#le eF#edient has resulted in a com#lete cessation of the discomfort
of which the #atient com#lained!
>' Pioneer of Food Remedies!>
The #ioneer, in England, of the treatment of all sorts and conditions of
disease by means of a egetable Jchiefly fruitK dietary was Dr! %ambe, a
contem#orary of the #oet 6helley! :is last book a##eared in +1+A, and in
it and the one #receding are recorded some wonderful cures, es#ecially
in cases of cancer! 7t is only fair to add here that in Dr! %ambeEs
o#inion no system of cure is com#letely efficacious so long as the
#atient is allowed to drink the ordinary ta# or well water! Distilled
water was the only drink he adised! But he held it better still not to
drink at all if the necessary liDuid could be su##lied to the body by
means of fresh, juicy fruits! :e contended that man is not naturally a
drinking animalI that his thirst is a morbid sym#tom, the outcome of a
carniorous diet and other unwholesome habits! 'nd 7 think that anyone
may #roe the truth of this for him or herself if he or she will ado#t a
fruitarian dietary and abstain from the use of salt and other
condiments!
7 hae cited so out$of$date a #ersonage as Dr! %ambe for two reasons!
The first is that 7 know many of the so$called new and unorthodoF ideas
are more likely to a##eal to some readers, if it can be shown that they
originated with a duly Dualified medical #ractitioner who recorded the
results of his obserations and eF#eriments in black and white! The
second is that the #rinci#les and #ractices of Dr! %ambe are
incor#orated with those of the Physical Regeneration 6ociety, a large
and eer$increasing body of enthusiasts haing its head$Duarters in
%ondon, to whose annals 7 must refer those readers who desire u#$to$date
instances of the efficacy of the use of fruit in disease! %ack of s#ace
will not allow me to Duote them here!
>The 6im#le %ife!>
Ce hear a great deal about the H6im#le %ifeH and HReturning to ;atureH
nowadays, but most of us are so situated that the #ro#osed sim#licity
sim#ly s#ells increased com#leFity! The Hegetarian cho#H costs the
housewife more than double the time and labour inoled in #re#aring its
fleshly namesake! 'nd when it comes to illness some of the systems of
bathing and eFercising #rescribed by the Hnaturo#athH are infinitely
more troublesome to the #atient and his friends than the sim#le
eF#edient of sending for the doctor and taking the #rescribed doses! 7
do not want to be misunderstood here! 7 am not condemning treatment
with water and eFercises! 9n the contrary, 7 ho#e to #ass on what 7 hae
learnt about these methods of treatment! But so many #eo#le lack the
time, hel#, and coneniences necessary to carry them out successfully!
7t is to these that 7 would say that the #atientEs cure may be effected
just as surely, if more slowly, by means of fruit alone!
>Fruit or Fasting!>
Treatment of disease by fasting has come into fashion of late, and there
is really no lack of #roof as to the benefits to be obtained from
abstaining entirely from food for a short #eriod! 7 know of an elderly
man who fasts for a fortnight eery s#ring, and gains, not loses, weight
during the #rocessL :e accounts for this by eF#laining that certain
stored u#, undigested food #articles come out and are digested while he
fasts! Chether this is the correct eF#lanation 7 do not know, but the
fact remains, and it is not by any means a solitary case! 9f course, the
majority of #eo#le lose weight when fasting, but this is ery Duickly
recoered! ;ow 7 do not think fasting should be undertaken recklessly,
but only under com#etent direction! But an eFcellent and safe substitute
for a fast is an eFclusie fruit diet!
>'cute 7llness!>
The sim#lest and Duickest method of recoering from attacks of acute
illness, feers, inflammatory diseases, etc!, is to rest Duietly in bed
in a warm but well$entilated room, and to take three meals a day of
fresh ri#e fruit, gra#es by #reference! 7f the gra#es are grown out of
doors and ri#ened in the sun so much the better! 7 hae found from two
to three #ounds of gra#es #er day sufficient! 7f there is thirst, barley
water flaoured with lemon juice should be taken between the meals!
P'RT 77!$$F99D6 ';D T:E7R (ED757;'% )6E6
>'lmond!>
'lmond sou# is an eFcellent substitute for beef$tea for conalescents!
7t is made by sim#ly blanching and #ounding a Duarter of a #ound of
sweet almonds with half a #int of milk, or egetable stock! 'nother #int
of milk or stock is then to be added and the whole warmed! 'fter this
add another #int and a half of stock if the sou# is to be a egetable
one, or rice water if milk has been used!
'n emulsion of almonds is useful in chest affections! 7t is made by well
macerating the nuts in a nut butter machine, and miFing with orange or
lemon juice!
'lmonds should always be blanched, that is, skinned by #ouring boiling
water on the nuts and allowing them to soak for one minute, after which
the skins are easily remoed! The latter #ossess irritating #ro#erties!
Bitter almonds should not be used as a food! They contain a #oison
identical with #russic acid!
>'##le!>
7t is hardly #ossible to take u# any news#a#er or magaGine now a days
without ha##ening on adertisements of #atent medicines whose chief
recommendation is that they Hcontain #hos#horus!H They are generally
ery eF#ensie, but the reader is assured that they are worth ten times
the #rice asked on account of their wonderful #ro#erties as nere and
brain foods! The #ro#rietors of these concoctions seemingly flourish
like green bay trees and s#end many thousands of #ounds #er annum in
adertising! From which it may be deduced that sufferers from nerous
eFhaustion and brain fag number millions! 'nd surely only a sufferer
from brain fag would suffer himself to be led blindly into wasting his
money, and still further injuring his health, by buying and swallowing
drugs about whose #ro#erties and effects he knows absolutely nothing!
:ow much sim#ler, chea#er, and more enjoyable to eat a##lesL
The a##le contains a larger #ercentage of #hos#horus than any other
fruit or egetable! For this reason it is an inaluable nere and brain
food! 6ufferers from nere and brain eFhaustion should eat at least two
a##les >at the beginning of each meal>! 't the same time they should
aoid tea and coffee, and su##ly their #lace with barley water or bran
tea flaoured with lemon juice, or een a##le tea!
'##les are also inaluable to sufferers from the stone or calculus! 7t
has been obsered that in cider countries where the natural unsweetened
cider is the common beerage, cases of stone are #ractically unknown!
Food$reformers do not deduce from this that the drinking of cider is to
be recommended, but that een better results may be obtained from eating
the fresh, ri#e fruit!
'##les #eriodically a##ear u#on the tables of carniorous feeders in the
form of a##le sauce! This accom#anies bilious dishes like roast #ork and
roast goose! The cook who set this fashion was eidently acDuainted with
the action of the fruit u#on the lier! 'll sufferers from sluggish
liers should eat a##les!
'##les will afford much relief to sufferers from gout! The malic acid
contained in them neutralises the chalky matter which causes the gouty
#atientEs sufferings!
'##les, when eaten ri#e and without the addition of sugar, diminish
acidity in the stomach! 5ertain egetable salts are conerted into
alkaline carbonates, and thus correct the acidity!
'n old remedy for weak or inflamed eyes is an a##le #oultice! 7 am told
that in %ancashire they use rotten a##les for this #ur#ose, but
#ersonally 7 should #refer them sound!
' good remedy for a sore or relaFed throat is to take a raw ri#e a##le
and scra#e it to a fine #ul# with a siler teas#oon! Eat this #ul# by
the s#oonful, ery slowly, holding it against the back of the throat as
long as #ossible before swallowing!
' diet consisting chiefly of a##les has been found an eFcellent cure for
inebriety! :ealth and strength may be fully maintained u#on fine
wholemeal unleaened bread, #ure dairy or nut butter, and a##les!
'##le water or a##le tea is an eFcellent drink for feer #atients!
'##les #ossess tonic #ro#erties and #rooke a##etite for food! :ence the
old$fashioned custom of eating an a##le before dinner!
>'##le Tea!>
The following are two good reci#es for a##le tea&$$ J+K Take , sound
a##les, wash, but do not #eel, and cut into thin slices! 'dd some stri#s
of lemon rind! Pour on + #int of boiling water JdistilledK! 6train when
cold! J,K Bake , a##les! Pour oer them + #int boiling water! 6train
when cold!
>'s#aragus!>
's#aragus is said to strengthen and deelo# the artistic faculties! 7t
also calms #al#itation of the heart! 7t is ery hel#ful to rheumatic
#atients on account of its salts of #otash! 7t should be steamed, not
boiled, otherwise #art of the aluable salts are lost!
>Banana!>
The banana is inaluable in inflammation of all kinds! For this reason
it is ery useful in cases of ty#hoid feer, gastritis, #eritonitis,
etc!, and may constitute the only food allowed for a time!
;ot only does it actually subdue the inflammation of the intestines,
but, in the o#inion of at least one authority, as it consists of ?A #er
cent! nutriment, it does not #ossess sufficient waste matter to irritate
the inflamed s#ots!
But great care should be taken in its administration! The banana should
be >thoroughly sound and ri#e>, and all the stringy #ortion carefully
remoed! 7t should then be mashed and beaten to a cream! 7n seere cases
7 think it is better to gie this neat, but if not liked by the #atient
a little lemon juice, well miFed in, may render it more acce#table! 7t
may also be taken with fresh cream!
' friend who has had a ery wide eF#erience in illness told me that she
was once hurriedly sent for at night to a girl suffering from
#eritonitis! ;ot knowing what she might, or might not, find in the way
of remedies when she arried at her destination, my friend took with her
some strong barley water, bananas, and an enema syringe! 6he found the
girl lying across the bed screaming, obiously in agony! First of all my
friend administered a warm water enema! ' #int of #lain warm water was
injected first, and after this had come away as much warm water as could
be got in was injected and then allowed to come away! The object of this
was to thoroughly wash out the bowels! Then the barley water was warmed,
the bananas mashed, beaten to cream, and miFed in with the barley water!
' soothing nutrient lotion was thus #re#ared, and as much as the #atient
could bear comfortably was injected in the bowel and retained as long as
#ossible! The effect was magical! The #ain subsided, and the #atient
ultimately recoered!
7n the absence of >#erfectly> ri#e bananas, baked bananas may be used!
But, although better than no fruit at all, cooked fruit is neer so
aluable as the fresh fruit, if only the latter be #erfectly ri#e!
Bananas should be baked in their skins, and the stringy #ieces carefully
remoed before eating! From twenty minutes to half an hourEs slow
cooking is reDuired!
Bananas are eFcellent food for anaemic #ersons on account of the iron
they contain! ' ery #alatable way of taking them is with fresh orange
juice!
' com#aratiely old$fashioned remedy, for s#rained or bruised #laces
that show a tendency to become inflamed is to a##ly a #laster of banana
skin!
>Barley!>
Barley is eFcellent food for the anaemic and nerous on account of its
richness in iron and #hos#horic acid! 7t is also useful in feers and
all inflammatory diseases, on account of its soothing #ro#erties! From
the earliest times barley water has been the recognised drink of the
sick!
>Barley Cater!>
Chen using #earl barley for making barley water it must be well washed!
The fine white dust that adheres to it is most unwholesome! For this
reason the cook is generally directed to first boil the barley for fie
minutes, and throw this water away! But in this way some of the aluable
#ro#erties are thrown away with the dirt! The best results are obtained
by well washing it in cold water, but this must be done oer and oer
again! :alf$a$doGen waters will not be too many! 'fter the last washing
the water should be #erfectly clear!
Chen barley water is being used for curatie #ur#oses it should be
strong! The following reci#e is an eFcellent one! ' +=, #int of barley
to ,+=, #ints water Jdistilled if #ossibleK! Boil for three hours, or
until reduced to , #ints! 6train and add 2 teas#oonfuls fresh lemon
juice! 6weeten to taste with #ure cane sugar!
Fine 6cotch barley is to be #referred to the #earl barley if it can be
obtained!
>Blackberry!>
Fresh blackberries are one of the most effectual cures for diarrhoea
known! (r! Broadbent records the case of a child who was cured by eating
an abundance of blackberries after fie doctors had tried all the known
remedies in ain!
>Blackberry Tea!>
7n the absence of the fresh fruit a tea made of blackberry jelly and hot
water Ja large tables#oonful of jelly to half a #int waterK will be
found ery useful! ' teacu#ful should be taken at short interals!
>Blackberry *elly!>
To make blackberry jelly get the first fruit of the season if #ossible,
and see that it is ri#e or it will yield ery little juice! Put it into
the #resering #an, crush it, and allow it to simmer slowly until the
juice is well drawn out! This will take from three$Duarters to one hour!
6train through a jelly bag, or fine clean muslin doubled will do! Then
measure the juice, and to eery #int allow @=2 lb! best cane sugar!
Return to the #an and boil briskly for from twenty minutes to half an
hour! 6tir with a wooden s#oon and kee# well skimmed! To test, #ut a
little of the jelly on a cold #late, and if it sets when cold it is
done! Chile still at boiling #oint #our into clean, dry, and >hot>
jars, and tie down with #archment coers immediately!
>Black 5urrant!>
Black currant tea is one of the oldest of old$fashioned remedies for
sore throats and colds! 7t is made by #ouring half a #int of boiling
water on to a large tables#oonful of the jelly or jam! To make the jelly
use the same reci#e as for blackberry jelly!
The fresh juice #ressed from the fruit is, of course, better than tea
made from the jelly, but as winter is the season of coughs and colds the
fruit is least obtainable when most needed!
>BraGil ;ut!>
BraGil nuts are eFcellent for consti#ation! They are also a good
substitute for suet in #uddings! )se A oG! nuts to + lb! flour! They
should be grated in a nut mill or finely cho##ed!
>Beans, Peas, and %entils!>
Beans, #eas, and lentils are tabooed by the followers of Dr! :aig, the
gout s#ecialist, on account of the belief that they tend to increase the
secretion of uric acid! But this eil #ro#ensity is stoutly denied by
other food$reformers! For myself 7 am inclined to beliee that their
su##osed indigestibility, etc!, arises from the fact that they are
generally cooked in hard water! They should be cooked in distilled or
boiled and filtered rain water! The addition of lemon juice while
cooking renders them much more digestible!
'ccording to 6ir :enry Thomson haricot beans are more easily digested
than meat by most stomachs! H5onsuming weight for weight, the eater
feels lighter and less o##ressed, as a rule, after the leguminous dishI
while the com#aratie cost is greatly in faour of the latter!H
%entils are the most easily digested of all the #ulse foods, and
therefore the most suitable for weakly #ersons! ' sou# made of
distilled water and red lentils may be taken twice a week with
adantage! %entils contain a good #ercentage of iron, and also
#hos#hates!
>Beet!>
The red beet is useful in some diseases of the womb, while the white
beet is good for the lier! 7t is laFatie and diuretic! The juice miFed
with olie oil is also recommended to be a##lied eFternally for burns
and all kinds of running sores!
>5abbage!>
'll the arieties of the colewort tribe, including cabbage, cauliflower,
brussels$s#routs, broccoli, and curly greens, hae been celebrated from
ery ancient times for their curatie irtues in #ulmonary com#laints!
'nd 'thenian doctors #rescribed cabbage for nursing mothers! 9n account
of the sul#hur contained in them cabbages are good for rheumatic
#atients! They may be eaten steamed, or, better still, boiled in soft
water and the broth only taken! The ordinary boiled cabbage is an
indigestible HwindyH egetable, and should neer be eaten!
>5araway 6eed!>
5araway seeds shar#en the ision, #romote the secretion of milk, and are
good against hysterical affections! They are also useful in cases of
colic! Chen used to flaour cakes the seeds should be #ounded in a
mortar, es#ecially if children are to #artake thereof!
Chen used medicinally ,- grains of the #owdered seeds may be taken in a
wineglassful of hot water! But for children half an ounce of the bruised
seeds are to be infused in cold water for siF hours, and from + to @
teas#oonfuls of this water gien!
' #oultice of crushed caraway seeds moistened with hot water is good for
s#rains!
5araway seeds are narcotic, and should therefore be used with caution!
>5arrot!>
5arrots are strongly antise#tic! They are said to be mentally
inigorating and nere restoring! They hae the re#utation of being ery
indigestible on account of the fact that they are generally boiled, not
steamed! Chen used medicinally it is best to take the fresh, raw juice!
This is easily obtained by grating the carrot finely on a common #enny
bread grater, and straining and #ressing the #ul# thus obtained!
Raw carrot juice, or a raw carrot eaten fasting, will eF#el worms! The
cooked carrot is useless for this #ur#ose!
' #oultice of fresh carrot #ul# will heal ulcers!
Fresh carrot juice is also good for consum#ties on account of the large
amount of sugar it contains!
5arrots are ery good for gouty subjects and for derangements of the
lier!
>5elery!>
5elery is almost a s#ecific for rheumatism, gout, and nerous
indigestion! The most useful #lants for this #ur#ose are small, not too
ra#idly grown nor ery highly manured!
7t may be eaten raw, or steamed, or in sou#! 6trong celery broth
flaoured with #arsley is eFcellent!
>5resses!>
'll the cresses are anti$scorbutic, that is, useful against the scury!
The ancient Greeks also belieed them to be good for the brain!
The ordinary Hmustard and cressH of our salads is good for rheumatic
#atients, while the water$cress is aluable in cases of tubercular
disease! 'naemic #atients may also eat freely of it on account of the
iron it contains! 5are should be taken, howeer, from whence it is
#rocured, as a disease #eculiar to shee# but communicable to man may be
carried by it! 7t should not be gathered from streams running through
meadows inhabited by shee#!
>5hestnut!>
5hestnuts, when cooked, are aluable food for #ersons with weak
digestie #owers! They should be #ut on the fire in a sauce#an of cold
water and cooked for twenty minutes from the time the water first boils!
*ohn Eelyn, F!R!6!, a seenteenth century writer, says of them& HThey
are a lusty and masculine food for rustics at all times, and of better
nourishment for husbandmen than cole and rusty bacon, yea, or beans to
boot!H
>5innamon!>
5innamon is a ery old$fashioned remedy for soothing the #ain of
internal or unbroken cancer! 9ne #rescri#tion is the following& Take
+ lb! of 5eylon sticks! 6immer in a closed essel with + Duart of water
until the liDuid is reduced to + #int! Pour off without straining, and
shake or stir well before taking! Take half a #int eery twenty$four
hours! Diide into small doses and take regularly!
5innamon has a #owerful influence oer disease germs, but care must be
taken to obtain it #ure! 7t is often adulterated with cassia!
5innamon tea may be taken with adantage in cases of consum#tion,
influenGa, and #neumonia!
>5ocoanut!>
5ocoanut is an old and ery efficacious remedy for intestinal worms of
all kinds! ' tables#oonful of freshly$ground cocoanut should be taken at
breakfast until the cure is com#lete! The dessicated cocoanut is useless
for curatie #ur#oses!
>5offee!>
5offee is a most #owerful antise#tic, and therefore ery useful as a
disinfectant! 7t has been used as a s#ecific against cholera with
marellous results, and is useful in all cases of intestinal
derangement! But only the #ale$roasted arieties should be taken, as the
roasting deelo#s the #oisonous, irritating #ro#erties! There is
>always> danger in the roasting of grains or berries on account of the
new substances that may be deelo#ed!
7 do not recommend coffee as a beerage, but as a medicine!
>Date!>
The nourishing #ro#erties of dates are well known! They are easily
digested, and for this reason are often recommended to consum#tie
#atients!
'ccording to Dr! Fernie half a #ound of dates and half a #int of new
milk will make a satisfying re#ast for a #erson engaged in sedentary
work!
>Elderberry!>
The elderberry has fallen into neglect of late years, owing to the laGy
and disastrous modern habit of substituting the mineral drugs of the
chemist for the home$made egetable remedies of our grandmothers!
;eertheless, the elderberry is one of the most ancient and tried of
medicines, held in such great esteem in Germany that, according to the
German folk$lore, men should take off their hats in the #resence of an
elder$tree! 7n Denmark there is a legend to the effect that the trees
are under the #rotection of a being known as the Elder$(other, who has
been immortalised in one of the fairy tales of :ans 'ndersen!
The berries of the elder$tree are not #alatable enough to be used as a
common article of food, but in the days when nearly eery garden boasted
its elder$tree few housewies omitted to make elderberry wine in due
season!
7t is not #ermitted to Hfood$reformersH to make Hwine,H but those
readers who are fortunate enough to #ossess an elder$tree might well
#resere the juice of the berries against winter coughs and colds!
>Presered Fruit *uice!>
The following is E! and B! (ayEs reci#e for #resering fruit juice! Put
the fruit into a #resering$#an, crush it and allow it to simmer slowly
until the juice is well drawn out! This will take about an hour! Press
out the juice and strain through a jelly$bag until Duite clear! Put the
juice back into the #an, and to eery Duart add a Duarter of a #ound of
best cane sugar! 6tir until dissoled! Put the juice into clean, dry
bottles! 6tand the bottles in a #an of hot water, and when the latter
has come to the boil allow the bottles to remain in the boiling water
for fifteen minutes! The idea is to bring the juice inside the bottles
to boiling #oint just before sealing u#, but not to boil it! 6ee that
the bottles are >full>! 5ork >immediately> on taking out of the #an,
and then seal u#! To seal miF a little #laster of Paris with water and
s#read it well oer the cork! %et it come a little below the cork so as
to eFclude all air!
The juice of the elderberry is famous for #romoting #ers#iration, hence
its efficacy in the cure of colds! Two tables#oonfuls should be taken at
bed$time in a tumbler of hot water!
The juice of the elderberry is eFcellent in feers, and is also said to
#romote longeity!
>Elderberry Poultice!>
HThe leaes of the elder, boiled until they are soft, with a little
linseed oil added thereto,H laid u#on a scarlet cloth and a##lied, as
hot as it can be borne, to #iles, has been said to be an infallible
remedy! Each time this #oultice gets cold it must be renewed for Hthe
s#ace of an hour!H 't the end of this time the final dressing is to be
Hbound on,H and the #atient H#ut warm to bed!H 7f necessary the whole
o#eration is to be re#eatedI but the writer assures us that Hthis hath
not yet failed at the first dressing to cure the disease!H 7f any reader
desires to try the eF#eriment 7 would suggest that the leaes be steamed
rather than boiled, and #ure olie oil used in the #lace of linseed oil!
7t must also be remembered that no outward a##lication can be eF#ected
to effect a #ermanent cure, since the #resence of #iles indicates an
effort of ;ature to clear out some #oison from the system! But if this
eF#ulsion is assisted by a##ro#riate means the #ain may well be
alleiated by eFternal a##lications! JPe##er should be aoided by
sufferers from #iles!K
>Fig!>
' Hlum# of figsH laid on the boil of <ing :eGekiah, as recorded in ,
<ings FF! 3, brought about that monarchEs recoery! The figs used were
doubtless ri#e figs, not the dried figs of our grocers!
HThis fruit,H says Dr! Fernie, His soft, easily digested, and correctie
of strumous disease!H The large blue fig may be grown in England, in the
milder #arts and under a warm wall! The fresh figs were rarely seen at
one time outside of the large Hhigh$classH fruit sho#s, but for the last
year or two 7 hae seen them #eddled in the streets of %ondon like
a##les and oranges in due season!
Green figs Jnot unri#eK were commonly eaten by Roman gladiators, which
is surely a sufficient tribute to the fruitEs strength$giing Dualities!
The best way of #re#aring dried figs for eating is to wash them ery
Duickly in warm water, and steam for twenty minutes or until tender!
>Gra#e!>
The s#ecial alue of the gra#e lies in the fact that it is a ery Duick
re#airer of bodily waste, the gra#e sugar being taken immediately into
the circulation without #reious digestion! For this reason is gra#e
juice the best #ossible food for feer #atients, consum#ties, and all
who are in a weak and debilitated condition! The gra#es should be well
chewed, the juice and #ul# swallowed, and the skin and stones rejected!
7n countries where the gra#e cure is #ractised, consum#tie #atients are
fed on the sweeter arieties of gra#e, while those troubled with lier
com#laints, acid gout, or other effects of oer$feeding, take the less
sweet kinds!
Dr! Fernie de#recates the use of gra#es for the ordinary gouty or
rheumatic #atient, but with all due deference to that learned authority,
7 do not beliee the fruit eFists that is not beneficial to the gouty
#erson! 9ne of the most gouty and rheumatic #eo#le 7 know, a egetarian
who certainly neer oer$feeds himself, deries great benefit from a few
daysE almost eFclusie diet of gra#es!
5ream of tartar, a #otash salt obtained from the crust formed u#on
bottles and casks by gra#e juice when it is undergoing fermentation in
the #rocess of becoming wine, is often used as a medicine! 7t has been
cited as an infallible s#ecific in cases of small#oF, but 7 do not
recommend its use, as it #robably gets contaminated with other
substances during the #rocess of manufacture! 7n any case its alue
cannot be com#ared with the fresh, ri#e fruit! 7 hae little doubt but
that an eFclusie diet of gra#es, combined with warmth, #ro#er bathing,
and the absence of drugs, would suffice to cure the most malignant case
of small#oF!
6ufferers from malaria may use gra#es with great benefit! For this
#ur#ose the gra#es, with the skins and stones, should be well #ounded in
a mortar and allowed to stand for three hours! The juice should then be
strained off and taken! 9r #ersons with good teeth may eat the gra#es,
including the skins and stones, if they thoroughly macerate the latter!
7n the absence of fresh gra#es raisin$tea is a restoring and nourishing
drink! Dr! Fernie notes that it is of the same #roteid alue as milk, if
made in the #ro#ortions gien below! 7t is much more easily digested
than milk, and therefore of great use in gastric com#laints! 6ufferers
from chronic gastritis could not do better than make raisin$tea their
sole drink, and bananas their only food for a time!
>Raisin Tea!>
To make raisin$tea, take half a #ound of good raisins and wash well, but
Duickly, in lukewarm water! 5ut u# roughly and #ut into the
old$fashioned beef$tea jar with a Duart of >distilled> or boiled and
filtered >rain> water! 5ook for four hours, or until the liDuid is
reduced to + #int! 6cald a fine hair siee and #ress through it all
eFce#t the skins and stones! 7f desired a little lemon juice may be
added!
>Gooseberry!>
The juice of green gooseberries Hcureth all inflammations,H while the
red gooseberry is good for bilious subjects! But it has been said that
gooseberries are not good for melancholy #ersons!
Gooseberries are an eFcellent Hs#ring medicine!H
>%aender!>
7t is ery much to be regretted that the nere$soothing egetable
#erfumes of our grandmothers hae been su#erseded, for the most #art, by
the chea# mineral #roducts of the laboratory! 6cents really #re#ared
from the flowers that gie them their names are eF#ensie to make, and
conseDuently high$#riced! The chea# scents are all mineral concoctions,
and their use is more or less injurious! ' #enny$worth of dried laender
flowers in a muslin bag is een chea#er to buy, inoffensie to
smell$$which is more than can be said of chea# manufactured scents$$and
#ossesses medicinal #ro#erties!
%aender flowers were formerly used for their curatie irtues in all
disorders of the head and neres!
'n oil, #re#ared by infusing the crushed laender flowers in olie oil,
is recommended for anointing #alsied limbs, and at one time a s#irit was
#re#ared from laender flowers which was known as H#alsy dro#s!H
' tea made with hot water and laender to#s will reliee the headache
that comes from fatigue!
Dr! Fernie adises + desserts#oonful #er day of #ure laender water for
ecGema!
The scent of laender will kee# away flies, fleas, and moths!
>%emon!>
%emons are inaluable in cases of gout, malaria, rheumatism, and scury!
They are also useful in feers and lier com#laints!
7 hae found the juice of one lemon taken in a little hot water remoe
diGGy feelings in the head, accom#anied by s#ecks and lights dancing
before the eyes, conseDuent u#on the lier being out of order, in half
an hour!
The juice of a lemon in hot water may be taken night and morning with
adantage by sufferers from rheumatism! 7n the Hlemon cureH for gout and
rheumatism, the #atients begin with one lemon #er day and increase the
Duantity until they arrie at a doGen or more! But 7 think this is
carrying it to eFcess! Dr! Fernie recommends the juice of one lemon
miFed with an eDual #ro#ortion of hot water, to be taken #retty
freDuently, in cases of rheumatic feer!
' #rescri#tion for malaria, gien in the >%ancet>, is the following&
HTake a full$siGed lemon, cut it in thin transerse slices, rind and
all, boil these down in an earthenware jar containing a #int and a half
of water, until the decoction is reduced to half a #int! %et this cool
on the window$sill oernight, and drink it off in the morning!H
' Florentine doctor discoered that fresh lemon juice will alleiate
the #ain of cancerous ulceration of the tongue! :is #atient sucked
slices of lemon!
' German doctor found that fresh lemon juice kills the di#theria
bacillus, and adises a gargle of diluted lemon juice to di#theric
#atients! 6uch a gargle is eFcellent for sore throat!
Dr! Fernie recommends lemon juice for nerous #al#itation of the heart!
%emon juice rubbed on to corns will eentually do away with them, and if
a##lied to unbroken chilblains will effect a cure!
%emon juice is also an old remedy for the remoal of freckles and
blackheads from the face! 7t should be rubbed in at bedtime, after
washing with warm water!
>%ettuce!>
%ettuce is noted for its sedatie #ro#erties, although these are not
great in the large, highly$manured, commercial s#ecimens! 7t is ery
easily digested, and may, therefore, be eaten by those with whom salads
disagree in the ordinary way!
>;ettle!>
The tender to#s of young nettles #icked in the s#ring make a delicious
egetable, somewhat resembling s#inach! They are eFcellent for sufferers
from gout and skin eru#tions!
Fresh nettle juice is #rescribed in doses of from + to , tables#oonfuls
for loss of blood from the lungs, nose, or internal organs!
>;uts!>
;uts are the true substitute for flesh meat! They contain eerything in
the way of nourishment that meat contains, minus the #oisonous
constituents of the latter! They are ery rich in #roteid Jflesh and
muscle formerK and fat! 7n addition they #ossess all the constituents
that go to make u# a #erfect food! ;uts and water form a com#lete
dietary, although 7 do not suggest that any reader should try it! 7f he
did so he would #robably eat too many nuts, not realising how great an
amount of nourishment is contained in a concentrated form! ;o one should
eat more than a Duarter of a #ound of nuts #er day, in addition to other
food! ' #ound #er day would be more than sufficient if no other food
were taken! 7 hae little doubt but that the diet of the future will
consist solely of nuts and fresh fruit! 'fter all it is the food most
faoured by monkeys, and our teeth and digestie a##aratus more nearly
resemble those of the monkey than the carniorous and herbiorous
animals so many of us seemingly #refer to imitate!
The chief objection to nuts is su##osed to be on account of their
indigestibility! But this has its foundation, not in the nut, but in the
manner of eating it! 7 recommend all those #eo#le who find nuts
indigestible to #ay a isit to the Moo and see how the monkey eats his
nuts! :e chews and chews and chews! 'nd after that he chewsL
7 know, alasL that the majority of #eo#le do not #ossess teeth like the
monkey, and to these 7 can only suggest that they macerate their nuts in
a nut butter machine! There are seeral of these machines on the market,
and they are stocked by all large HFood$ReformH #roision dealers! They
cost anything from siF or seen shillings! The daily allowance of nuts
may be thoroughly macerated and eaten with fruit in the #lace of cream!
9rdinary #eo#le may use a nut$mill, which flakes, not macerates, the
nuts! But #eo#le with bad teeth and a weak digestion will do better to
inest in a nut butter machine! 7 may add that the nuts will not
macerate #ro#erly unless they are cris#, and to this end they must be
#ut in a warm oen for a short time, just before grinding! 7 hae found
new, English$grown walnuts cris# enough without this #re#aration! But if
the nuts are >not> cris# enough they will sim#ly clog the machine!
;ow to our nutsL 'lmonds are the most nourishing! ;eFt in order come
walnuts, haGel or cob nuts, and BraGil nuts! The #roteid alue of these
three does not differ much! 'fter these come the chestnut and cocoanut,
and lastly we hae the #ine kernel! 6#eaking ery roughly, we may liken
walnuts, haGel nuts, and BraGil nuts to beef for flesh and
muscle$forming alue, while #ine kernels corres#ond more nearly to fish!
'lmonds are nearly double the alue of beef!
>;ut 5ream!>
Doctor Fernie recommends the following nut$cream for brain$workers!
Pound in a mortar, or mince finely, @ blanched almonds, , walnuts, ,
ounces of #ine kernels! 6tee# oernight in orange or lemon juice!
7t should be made fresh daily, and may be used in #lace of butter!
>9at!>
The oat is generally cited as the most nourishing of all the cereals,
and a good nere food! The fine oatmeal gruel of our grandmothers has
gone almost entirely out of fashion, but its use might be reied with
adantage! %ike wheat, it is a com#lete food! ' good #re#aration of
groats Jground oats from which the husk has been entirely remoedK may
be taken by those who find other #re#arations indigestible!
6ome #ersons seem unable to take oatmeal, its use being followed by a
skin eru#tion! This is su##osed to be due to a s#ecial constituent
called Haenin,H the eFistence of which, howeer, is denied by some
authorities!
There is little doubt but that #ersons of weak digestie #owers and
sedentary habits cannot digest #orridge comfortably! 7n any case
Duickly$cooked #orridge is an abomination!
>9lie!>
The chief use of the olie, at least in this country, consists in the
oil eF#ressed from it! )nfortunately our so$called olie oil is
generally cotton$seed oil! 5a#tain Diamond of 6an Francisco, aged +++,
and the oldest liing athlete in the world, attributes much of his
health to the use of olie oil! But he lays great stress u#on the
im#ortance of obtaining it #ure! 5otton$seed oil consists #artly of an
indigestible gum, and its continued ingestion tends to #roduce kidney
trouble and heart failure!
' sim#le test for #urity is to use, the sus#ected sam#le for oiling
floors or furniture! 7f #ure, it will leae a beautiful #olish minus
grease! But if it contains cotton$seed oil, #art of it will ea#orate,
leaing the gummy #ortion behind!
Chen #ure olie oil is shaken in a half$filled bottle, the bubbles
formed thereby ra#idly disa##ear, but if the sam#le is adulterated the
bubbles continue some time before they burst!
Pure olie oil is #ale and a greenish yellow!
7f eDual olumes of strong nitric acid Jthis may be obtained from any
chemistK and olie oil are miFed together and shaken in a flask the
resulting #roduct has a greenish or orange tinge which remains unchanged
after standing for ten minutes! But if cotton$seed oil is #resent, the
miFture is reddish in colour, and becomes brown or black on standing!
9lie oil is slightly laFatie, and therefore useful to sufferers from
consti#ation! 7t is also an eFcellent ermifuge!
9lie oil has been used with great success in the treatment of gall
stones! ' Dr! Rosenberg re#orted that of twenty$one cases treated by
Hthe ingestion of a considerable Duantity of olie oil, only two failed
of com#lete recoery!H
>9nion!>
The uses of the onion are many and aried! Fresh onion juice #romotes
#ers#iration, reliees consti#ation and bronchitis, induces slee#, is
good for cases of scury and sufferers from lead colic! 7t is also
eFcellent for bee and was# stings!
9nions are noted for their nere$soothing #ro#erties! They are also
beautifiers of the com#leFion! But moderation must be obsered in their
use or they are a#t to disagree! ;ot eeryone can digest onions,
although 7 beliee them to be more easily digested raw than cooked!
' raw onion may be rubbed on unbroken chilblains with good results! 7f
broken, the onion should be roasted! The heart of a roasted onion #laced
in the ear is an old$fashioned remedy for earache!
Raw onions are a #owerful antise#tic! They also attract disease germs to
themseles, and for this reason may be #laced in a sickroom with
adantage! ;eedless to say, they should afterwards be burnt or buried!
5ul#e#er, the ancient herbalist, says that they Hdraw corru#tion unto
them!H 7t is #ossibly for this reason that the Bedanta forbids them to
deout :indoos!
Garlic #ossesses the same #ro#erties as the onion, but in a ery much
stronger degree! %eeks are ery much milder than the onion!
>9nion *uice!>
The following #rescri#tion is eFcellent for sufferers from bronchitis or
coughs& 6lice a 6#anish onionI lay the slices in a basin and s#rinkle
well with #ure cane sugar! 5oer the basin tightly and leae for twele
hours! 'fter this time the basin should contain a Duantity of juice!
Gie a teas#oonful eery now and then until relief is afforded! 7f too
much be taken it may induce headache and omiting!
>9nion Poultice!>
'n eFcellent #oultice for the chest may be made by #lacing one or two
English onions in a muslin bag and #ounding them to a #ul#! This should
be renewed eery three or four hours, and the chest washed! 7 hae been
told that, at the age of siF weeks old, 7 was saed from dying of
bronchitis by such an onion #oultice a##lied to the soles of my feet!
>9range!>
The orange #ossesses most of the irtues of the lemon, but in a modified
form! But it has the adantage of being more #alatable!
The juice of oranges has been obsered to eFert such a beneficial
influence on the blood as to #reent and cure influenGa! Taken freely
while the attack is on they seemingly #reent the #neumonia that so
often follows! By far the Duickest way to oercome influenGa is to
subsist solely on oranges for three or four days! :ot distilled water
may be taken in addition!
The #eel of the bitter 6eille orange is an eFcellent tonic and remedy
in cases of malaria and ague! ' drink may be #re#ared from it according
to the #rescri#tion under the heading H%emon!H
The Horange cureH is used with great success for consum#tie #atients,
for chest affections of all kinds, for asthma, and some stomach
com#laints! 9ranges are taken freely at eery meal! The HnaelH kind are
generally used!
:erbalists sell dried orange #i#s to be crushed to a #owder and taken in
the #ro#ortion of + teas#oonful to a cu# of hot water! This is a
harmless sedatie, and useful in hysterical affections!
>(armalade Tonic!>
' drink made with half a #int of hot water #oured oer a tables#oonful
of good, home$made marmalade will often gie relief in cases of
neuralgia and #ains in the head!
>Parsley!>
Parsley is useful in cases of menstrual obstruction and diseases of the
kidneys! The bruised leaes a##lied to the breasts of nursing mothers
are said to cure #ainful lum#s and threatened abscess! 7t may also be
taken with adantage by cancerous #atients! 7n all these cases #arsley
may be taken in the form of a sou#, in common use among members of the
Physical Regeneration 6ociety, which consists of onions, tomatoes,
celery, and #arsley, stewed together in distilled water!
Dr! Fernie remarks that when uncooked #arsley has been eaten to eFcess
it has been obsered to #roduce e#ile#sy in certain bodily systems! The
oil of #arsley has also been found useful in cases of e#ile#sy! This
would naturally follow on the homeo#athic #rinci#le of similars!
>Pear!>
The #ear #ossesses most of the irtues of the a##le! But, unlike the
latter, it is credited with #roducing a consti#ating effect if eaten
without its skin! 7n an old reci#e book 7 found the following tribute to
Bergamot #ears! The writer says& H7 had for some years been afflicted
with the usual sym#toms of the stone in the bladder, when meeting with
Dr! %obbEs HTreatise of Dissolents for the 6tone and Grael,H 7 was
induced on his recommendation to try Bergamot #ears, a doGen or more
eery day with the rind, when in less than a week 7 obsered a large red
flake in my urine, which, on a slight touch, crumbled into the finest
#owder, and this was the same for seeral succeeding days! 7t is ten
years since 7 made the eF#eriment, and 7 hae been Duite free from any
com#laints of that nature eer since! The #ears were of the small sort
and full of knots!H
>Pea ;ut!>
The #ea nut$$or monkey nut$$is es#ecially recommended as a cure for
indigestion! 7 hae not been able to find out why! 's a matter of fact
it is such a highly$concentrated food that, unless taken in ery small
Duantities, it is liable to u#set weak digestions! 7 sus#ect the secret
to lie in the chewing! 'lmost any kind of nut will cure the habitual
indigestion induced by HboltingH the food, if only it be chewed until it
is liDuid! :ard biscuits will do instead of nuts, although an uncooked
food like the nut is the better! But whateer is taken must be
HFletcherised,H that is, chewed and chewed and chewed until it is all
reduced to liDuid!
Pea nuts contain a good deal of oil, and for this reason are recommended
for consum#ties! They are the chea#est nuts to buy, for the reason that
they are not really nuts but beans!
>Pine$a##le!>
Pine$a##le juice is the s#ecific for di#htheria! This seems to hae
been first brought to the notice of Euro#eans by the fact that negroes
liing round about the swam#s of %ouisiana were obsered to use it with
great success! ' writer who records this says& HThe #atient should be
forced to swallow the juice! This fluid is of so #ungent and corrosie a
nature that it cuts out the di#htheria mucous and causes it to
disa##ear!H
The aboe direction looks satisfactory enough on #a#er, and it is
eminently cheering to read of how the #ine$a##le juice causes the
di#htheria mucous to disa##ear, but anyone who knows anything about
di#htheria knows that to HforceH a di#htheria #atient to swallow is more
easily written about than accom#lished! Fortunately 7 hae been able to
obtain the following eF#licit directions from an eF#erienced nurse and
mother&
The #ine$a##le should be cut u# and well #ounded in a mortar! The juice
must then be #ressed out and strained through well$scalded muslin! The
#atientEs mouth must be washed out with warm water! The juice may now be
gien with a siler teas#oon! 7t is #ossible that the #atient may be
Duite unable to swallow any of it! 7f this be so, the juice will sere
as a mouth and throat wash! 7t will gradually dissole the membrane, and
enable it to be scra#ed gently away with the s#oon! The juice should be
gien, and the throat scra#ed as far down as the nurse can reach, as
often as the #atient can bear it! The time will come, sooner or later,
when the juice is swallowed! ;o other food should be gien! The nurse
may hae to work away for some hours before any juice is swallowed, but
my friend assures me that if the scra#ing be done gently and skilfully,
een children will bear it #atiently! 9nly a siler or bone s#oon should
be used, and, needless to say, it must be well scalded in boiling water
in the interals of using!
7t is a remarkable fact that while #ine$a##le juice eFercises this
remarkable corrosie #ower u#on diseased mucous, its effect u#on the
most delicate, healthy membrane is absolutely harmless! 7 hae seen
sweet #ine$a##le juice gien to siF$months$old babies as a su##lement to
the motherEs milk, with eFcellent results!
Dr! :illier, writing in the >:erald of :ealth> in +1?3, says H6liced
#ine$a##les, laid in #ure honey for a day or two, when used in
moderation, will reliee the human being from chronic im#action of the
bowels, reestablish #eristaltic motion, and induce #erfect digestion!H
H' slice of fresh #ine$a##le,H writes Dr! Fernie, His about as wise a
thing as one can take by way of dessert after a substantial meal!H This
is because fresh #ine$a##le juice has been found to act u#on animal food
in ery much the same way that the gastric juice acts within the
stomach! But egetarians should eat fresh fruit at the beginning of
meals rather than at the end!
The #ine$a##le is useful in all ordinary cases of sore$throat!
9ne #ine$a##le of aerage siGe should yield half a #int of juice!
Tinned or cooked #ine$a##le is useless for curatie #ur#oses!
>Pine <ernel!>
Pine kernels are recommended to those who find other nuts difficult to
digest! They are the most easily digested of all the nuts! They are
often used for cooking in the #lace of suet, being ery oily!
>Plum, Prune!>
The disfaour with which Hstone fruits,H es#ecially #lums, are generally
regarded owes its being to the fact that they are too often eaten when
unri#e! Chen ri#e, they are as wholesome as any other fruit! )nri#e they
#rooke choleraic diarrhoea!
The #rune, a ariety of dried #lum, has been recommended as a remedy
against iciousness and irritability! 'n 'merican doctor declares that
there is a certain medicinal #ro#erty in the #rune which acts directly
u#on the nerous system, and that is where the eil #assions hae their
seat! :e re#orts that he tried the eF#eriment of including #runes in the
meals of the icious, intractable youths of a reformatory, and that by
the end of a week they were #eaceable as lambs! (ost writers who comment
on this seem to suggest that any fruit which is mildly a#erient would
#roduce the same effect! But the mother of a large family tells me that
she has obsered that #runes seem to #ossess a soothing #ro#erty that is
all their own!
>Prune Tea!>
Prune tea is an eFcellent drink for irritable #ersons! 7t is made as
follows& To eery #int of washed #runes allow + Duart of distilled
water! 6oak the #runes all night, and afterwards simmer to rags in the
same water! 6train, and flaour with lemon juice if desired!
>Potato!>
The #otato is a chea# and homely remedy against gout, scury, and
rickets! Dr! %ambe tells how he cured a case of scury solely with raw
#otatoes! 9ne of the faourite dishes of that good old doctor was a
salad com#osed of sliced raw #otatoes and olie oil!
7n order to #resere the medicinal #ro#erties of #otatoes when cooked,
they must always be steamed in their jackets! The skin may be remoed
before eating, but care should be taken not to allow a #article of the
#otato to adhere to it! The aluable #otash salts chiefly lie just under
the skin!
' raw #otato scra#ed or #owdered to a #ul# is an eFcellent remedy for
burns and scalds!
Dr! Fernie recommends the following decoction with which to bathe the
swollen and inflamed joints of rheumatic sufferers! Take + lb!
#otatoes, cut each into four, but do not #eel them! Boil in , #ints of
water until stewed down to + #int! 6train, and use the liDuid!
Eaten to eFcess #otatoes are a#t to cause dullness and laGiness!
>Radish!>
The radish is commonly cited as indigestible, but for all that it is
commended by old writers as a #otent remedy for stone! 7f not too old,
well masticated, and eaten at the beginning of a meal, 7 do not think it
is more indigestible than the majority of egetables!
' syru# made with the juice eF#ressed from #ounded radishes and cane
sugar is recommended for rheumatism, bronchial troubles, whoo#ing$cough,
and #ustular eru#tions!
Dr! Fernie notes that the black radish is es#ecially useful against
whoo#ing$cough, #robably by reason of its olatile, sul#hureted oil!
H7t is em#loyed in Germany for this #ur#ose by cutting off the to#, and
then making a hole within the root, which hole is filled with treacle,
or honey, and allowed to stand thus for two or three daysI afterwards a
teas#oonful of the medicated liDuid is to be gien two or three times in
the day, with a desserts#oonful of water, when reDuired!H
7 am not acDuainted with the Hblack radish,H but mothers might do worse,
in cases of whoo#ing$cough, than gie their children the juice of
#ounded radishes miFed with #ure honey!
>Ras#berry!>
Ras#berries are eFcellent against the scury, and, like the blackberry,
good for relaFed bowels! They are a ery wholesome fruit, and should be
gien to those who hae Hweak and Dueasy stomachs!H
>Rice!>
The chief medicinal alue of rice lies in the Duickness with which it
is digested! 9ne authority says that Hit can be taken four times a day
and the #atient still get twenty hoursE rest!H 7t is conseDuently of
great alue in digestie and intestinal troubles! But it should be
>un#olished>, otherwise it is an ill$balanced, deficient food! 7t should
likewise be boiled in only just enough soft water to be absorbed during
the cooking! 9ne cu# of rice should be #ut on in a double sauce#an with
three cu#s of cold water and tightly coered! Chen the water is all
absorbed the rice will be cooked!
The large$grained, un#olished rice sold at HFood$ReformH stores at @d!
#er lb! absorbs the water and cooks much more easily than a smaller
ariety sold at ,d! 7 hae found the latter most unsatisfactory!
>Rhubarb!>
Rhubarb is a wholesome and cooling s#ring egetable, and may well take
the #lace of cooked fruit when the latter is scarce! But it is
generally forbidden to rheumatic and gouty #atients on account of its
oFalic acid! This oFalic acid is su##osed to combine with the lime in
the blood of the gouty #erson, and to form crystals of oFalate of lime,
which are eliminated by the kidneys! 't the same time the general health
suffers! HDr! Prout,H writes Dr! Fernie, Hsays he has seen well$marked
instances in which an oFalate of lime kidney attack has followed the use
of garden rhubarb in a tart or #udding, likewise of sorrel in a salad,
#articularly when at the same time the #atient has been drinking hard
water! But chemists eF#lain that oFalates may be eFcreted in the urine
without haing necessarily been a constituent, as such, of egetable or
other foods taken at table, seeing that citric, malic, and other organic
acids which are found distributed throughout the egetable world are
liable to chemical conersion into oFalic acid through a fermentation or
#ererted digestion!H
7 think the moral of the aboe is& HDo not drink hard water!H
Es#ecially do not cook fruit and egetables in hard water! They are
nearly always rendered indigestible by such a #rocess, and
Hegetarianism,H not the hard water, is often blamed for the sufferings
of the consumers!
Rhubarb is a#t to be oer$alued as a Hs#ring medicineH on account of
its association with the Turkey rhubarb of >materia medica>! 7t should
be thoroughly ri#e before eating!
7 am >not> recommending Turkey rhubarb!
>6age!>
6age is said to #romote longeity, to Duicken the senses and memory, and
to strengthen the neres!
6age tea is recommended for #ulmonary consum#tion and for eFcessie
#ers#iration of the feet! ' teas#oonful of dried sage, or rather more if
the fresh leaes be used, is stee#ed in half a #int of water for
twenty$four hours! ' teacu#ful is to be taken night and morning!
6age, like so many of the fragrant herbs, is antise#tic!
>6trawberry!>
The strawberry is eFce#tionally wholesome on account of its being so
easily digested! 7t is recommended for gout, rheumatism, and the stone!
'lso for anaemic #atients on account of the iron it contains!
:! Benjafield, (!B!, adises anaemic girls to take + Duart of
strawberries #er day, and when these are not obtainable seeral ri#e
bananas!
>6#inach!>
Professor Bunge declared that iron should neer be taken in its mineral
form, but that those who are in need of an iron tonic should take it as
it eFists in egetables and fruit! To this end he es#ecially commends
s#inach!
Dr! %uff #uts s#inach first on a list of egetables recommended to
those who suffer from gouty tendencies!
6#inach is ery easily digested, and so juicy that no added water is
needed in which to cook it!
>Tomato!>
The tomato, according to an 'merican #hysician, is one of the most
#owerful >deobstruents> Jremoer of disease #articles, and o#ener of the
natural channels of the bodyK of the >materia medica>! 7t should be used
in all affections of the lier, etc!, where calomel is indicated!
The su#erstition that tomatoes are a cause of cancer is absolutely
without foundation! Begetarian cancer #atients who hae recoered after
being gien u# as Hho#elessH by the orthodoF faculty eat tomatoes
freely! 'nother belief, strongly su##orted by some otherwise HadancedH
scientific men, is that tomatoes are bad for those who suffer from a
tendency to gout, or uric acid disease! But this has been contradicted
by others! The eil agency in the tomato is su##osed to be the oFalic
salt which it undoubtedly contains! But it has been shown by eF#eriment
how certain chemical com#ounds as obtained from #lants act Duite
differently to the same com#ounds artificially #re#ared in the
laboratory! 6o that the contention of those who assert that the tomato
is not only harmless, but een beneficial to gouty subjects, is not
unreasonable! 6#eaking from eF#erience, 7 can only say that one of the
goutiest subjects 7 know eats tomatoes nearly eery day of his life, and
continues to #rogress ra#idly towards health!
' tomato #oultice is said to cleanse foul ulcers, and #romote their
healing! 7t should be renewed freDuently, and a##lied hot!
>Turni#!>
Turni#s are anti$scorbutic!
'n old remedy for chronic coughs was turni# juice boiled with sugar!
The turni#s were grated, the juice #ressed out, and ,+=, oGs! candied
sugar were allowed to + #int of juice! This was boiled until it slightly
thickened! ' teas#oonful to be taken seeral times a day!
The green turni# to#s, steamed until tender, are a good Hs#ring
medicine!H
>Thyme!>
The common garden thyme, used for flaouring, is credited with many
irtues! 7t is said to ins#ire courage and enlien the s#irits, and for
this reason should be taken by melancholy #ersons! 7t is good against
nerous headache, flatulence, and hysterical affections! 7t is
antise#tic!
>Calnuts!>
The walnut has been called egetable arsenic because of its curatie
alue in ecGema! 'n oil obtained from the kernel has been found of great
serice when a##lied eFternally in cases of skin diseases! The leaes
of the walnut tree are also used for the same #ur#ose, both eFternally
and internally! 9ne ounce of the leaes to +, tables#oonfuls of boiling
water make a tea, half a tea$cu# of which may be taken seeral times a
day! The affected #arts should also be washed with it!
Calnuts, to be well masticated, hae been gien to gouty and rheumatic
#atients with great success! 'bout one doGen #er day is the Duantity
#rescribed! 7t is #ossible that herein lies the secret of the fact that
our ancestors inariably took walnuts with their wine!
The green, unri#e walnut is useful for eF#elling worms!
>Cheat!>
Chole wheat is a #erfect food! 7n the form of white flour, howeer, it
is an im#erfect, unbalanced food, on account of its de#riation of the
aluable #hos#hates which eFist in the bran! Rickets and malnutrition
generally are the outcome of the habitual use of white flour, unless the
loss of mineral matter is counter balanced by other foods!
9nly the ery finest wholemeal, such as H'rtoF,H for eFam#le, should be
used for making bread, etc! The ordinary coarse wholemeals are a#t to
#roduce intestinal irritation!
>5racked wheat>, soaked oernight in water and boiled for a cou#le of
hours, is a faourite #rescri#tion of 'merican writers for habitual
consti#ation! 7t may be obtained at most large HFood$ReformH stores!
>Bran Tea!>
;erous or anaemic #ersons will derie great benefit from a course of
bran tea! 7t is made as follows&$$To eery cu# of bran allow , cu#s
distilled water! Cell wash the bran in cold waterI it is generally full
of dust! Put in a sauce#an with the cold distilled water, coer tightly,
and boil for thirty minutes! 6train, and flaour with sugar and lemon
juice to taste! Take a teacu#ful night and morning!
