Throughout the world, since the very beginning of medical treatment of human ills, certain relationship between diet habits and health were noted by those practicilg the healing art. Thus, hundreds of years before the word “vitamin” came into the language of nutritional science, Chinese physicians recognized certain medicinal values in citrus fruits; and such skilled medical observers of their day as Colbatch. Lind, Lynch and others recognized the value of orange and lemon juice in the prevention and cure of scurvy. Although they had none of the tools of modern research, yet many of their observations were so remarkably accurate that they are being vividly substantiated today by the highly exact findings of medical science.

The facsimile reproduction' of passages from quaint old medical treatises, dealing with the use of citrus fruit juices, are given here chiefly for their historical value and interest.

“But I know no reason to fly to elaborate Preparations, when Nature has provided Medicins ready to our hands.

Why should we fly to Acids chemically prepared, when, as I said before. Nature has provided Oranges, Lemons, Citrons, Limes, and many more not necessary to mention?” John Colbatch (1699 A. D.)

“Weariness without cause indicates diesase.” Hippocrates 460—360 B. C.

“Oranges have the power to remove fever in the region of the chest, regulate digestion, and stop vomiting and coughing. If these are taken as a remedy for a long time their effect will penetrate into the spirit. They will also cause the body to become light and prolong life.” Han Yen-Chi’s Chu Lu 1178 A.D.

Wu-lai of the Yuan Period is the author of a song entitled, ‘Lemon Hot Water Song’ (e. i. a song in praise of hot lemonade).

The fruit i-mu (lemon) resembles the orange, but is sour. It is much used as a condiment to food. It improves the breath, and is grateful to the stomach. Women, who during the time of pregnoncy feel uneasy, will be comfortable after eating this fruit. Hence it has received the name i-mu (beneficial to the mother). It is also called i-mung-tse. It is prepared in the form of a liquid sweet or sour, that dispells the heat (i. e. it is cooling) and that is styled kie ko shwi (thirst-allaying water, i. e. lemonade). Wu Chen Fang (1700).

JU YAO, or Medicinal Fruit. If the orange is taken for a- long time it will make the body light in weight. Han Yen Chi’s Chu Lu 1178 A. D.

“I have cured many of that troublesome Cough that has rag’d this March, by only giving large quantities of Lemon and Sugar, to be eaten day and night; and an Opiat with some Drops of Oil of Sulphur per Campan, at night going to bed.” John Colbatch, essay concerning alkaly and acid, 1699 A.

THE PARTS FOOD PLAYS

Within the past ten years great

advances have been made. Food has been found to be one of the important factors in keeping well.

Since foundations for health are laid in infancy, proper feeding of the child is of extreme importance.

Nutrition — the science of foods — is now inseparably linked with biology — the science of

The study of the part food plays in vigor and health and age has been pursued along many different lines. As a result, we have learned about the effects of vitamins and minerals in the diet. We have learned about calories and the part they play in weight control — about the dangers of obesity and how it may more safely be avoided. We have learned that the body is normally slightly alkaline, some foods helping it to remain so. others having the opposite influence. We have learned that certain specific ailments, such as troubles of the teeth and gums, are dependent to a large extent upon the diet. We now know that beauty — clear eyes, unblemished skin and glossy hair — owes more to what we eat than to cosmetics.

■------------------V-----------------OLD AT FORTY — YOUNG AT SEVENTY

A person is young, whatever his years, so long as he is possessed of vitality. He is not “old” who can resist disease or return quickly to health after an illness.

Age is more a matter of health than of years. And the maintenance of health is a matter of maintaining bodily vigor.

Thus the biologists — the students of the science of life —• are searching out the ways in which vigor may be promoted and preserved, so that a greater proportion of the human race may be young at seventy instead of old at forty.---------------V--------------Tom: “My wife talks to
