For lung troubles and asthma use Tokay grapes or
grapes of a light-red color. Finish up with rice cake
sweetened with honey.
Eat fruits, and plenty of them, this month. Particularly
peaches, plums, apricots and other stone fruits, if costive.
Always counteract stone fruits with seedy fruits to obtain
certain good results.
All people with liver and kidney troubles should eat
plenty of zvhite grapes twice a day and make a little meal
on cereals.
Catarrhal people, whether stomach, throat or nasal
catarrh, will do best to abstain from grapes, but should
use persimmons, pomegranates, figs and oranges.
Rheumatic people should use two to three different
kinds of grapes with each meal for the whole of autumn
season.
The month of watermelons and cucumbers to those
whose liver is torpid and the duodenum fatty. Finish up
your watermelon or cucumber meal with a crust of bread
and a demi-tasse of Mocha coffee.

OCTOBER.
Do not change your summer underwear to heavier gar-
ments. Wear the same weight of underwear and stockings
all the year round and you will be less exposed to colds,
catarrhs, pneumonia and even neuralgic troubles. When
uncomfortable throw an extra cover over your body, either
in the form of an overcoat or a shawl, but take care not
to bundle your neck. Neck must be free to allow circula-
tion of the bodily functions.
Lemons correct heart trouble, break fevers, dyspepsia
and indigestion.
Is your stomach going back on you? Does it cause you
trouble? Confine yourself for several days to one raw
white of tgg in the morning, another in the evening and
in the meanwhile still your hunger with white grapes. Eat
little at a time but often, or as often as you feel like it.
After a few days you will feel well again, but do not return
to your table d'hote but add a dish daily, still making grapes
your principal food.
Eat apples and grapes and lots of them, and so as not to
grow tired and weary of them during the next six weeks,
take a piece of bread with them, like corn bread, rye bread,
wheat bread or their equivalents.
Apples to be good must be just a trifle tart, mealy, yet
juicy and of a very fine flavor, while grapes must be tasty.
Pumpkins and squashes are particularly of value when
cooked in butter and their own juice or baked in an oven.
Will prove to be excellent a-s waste mover when eaten with
raw cabbage salad or grated red beets on the side.
Turnips go well with beans and rye bread, but if they are
to act on kidneys, use cabbage with them, and peas or
eggplant instead of cabbage.

NOVEMBER.
Think of your grated apples with orange juice, your
glass of cream with lemon, a bowl of fresh rolled wheat or
coarsely ground wheat made into gruel, and be happy.
Raw peanuts with figs will move the bowels, and blanched
almonds with grapes our nerves will assist, while chestnuts
with prunes will stop all growls, and pine nuts with apple
all colds resist.
Going out in the early morning when cold and damp,
it is well to take a few drops of Vermouth in grape juice
or hot water. Keep the mouth closed and remain relaxed
for about one-half of a mile.
