OLD DOC. APPLE.

From America comes an Inspiring bit of 11 owe. It seems that grandmother was, after all, quite right. An apple a day really doe 3 keep the doctor away—or at least it hel|*3. At Oregon Medical College a member of the research staff has been taking the apple apart to pee what makes it tick. His studies have readied the point where lie is now able to state: "Apples eaten raw not only possess a high nutritive value, but they akso build iiip resistance against diseases and supply acids necessary to fight off infection and germs." All that has ever been claimed for apples is rapidly being proved. It is a complete vindication for grandma, who didn't know the difference between a vitamin and an Australian wallaby. The doctor declares, moreover, that apples seem to have other qualities previously unsuspected. For one thing, they apparently are an admirable detoxicant. The gent who is indiscreet enough to get soused can at least partially rectify his error by consuming two or three apples in quick succession. The Oregon doctor, however, does not advise what is to be done if the patient is too far under to eat an apple.
