COUNTERACTING ACIDITY. At this season of the year stowed fresh fruits enter largely in the daily bill of fare, many persons suffer from acidity of the stomach; and, in many cases, the use of fresh fruit has to be omitted from their diet. The acidity of certain stewed fruits may bo advantageously neutralised by the addition of a little bicarbonate of soda, so as to avoid the use of a large quantity of cane sugar to sweeten it, as this is apt to cause gastric termination and acidity. In stewing fruit about as much soda as will cover a shilling should be added to each pound of fruit. Of still greater importance, eight to ten drops of IMPEY’S MAY APPLE should be taken after each meal, and thus correct undue acidity, and create perfect assimilation and digestion.
