'e A Took PINEAPPLE AS A CURATIVE. It has long been known that the pineapple is one of the healthiest of fruits, but its real medicinal qualities probably have never been realized. In Hawaii experiirente have been made to determine It has been found something of these properties. that the fruit of tbe pineapple contains a digestive principle closely resembling pepsin in its action, and to this is probably due the beneficial results of the use of the fruit in certain forms of dyspepsia. On the casein of milk pineapple Juice acts as a digestive In almost the same manner as rennet, and the action is also well Illustrated by pine ing a thin piece of uncooked beef between two slices of fresh pineapple, where in the course of a few hours Its character Is completely changed. In diphtheritic sore throat and croup pineapple Juice has come to be very largely relied upon in countries where tbe fruit is common. The false membranes which cause the closing of the throat seem to be dissolved by the fruit acids and relief la almost immediate. Mra. Daniel H.
