Fruit

{ Beans, corn, cucumbers, okra, egg-plant, peas, lentils, squash, and tomatoes.

Young, tender vegetables, -as lettuce, radishes, cucumbers, water-cress, and tomatoes, - eaten uncooked, served separately or combined in salads, help to stimulate a flagging appetite, and when dressed with oil furnish considerable nutriment.

Beans, and peas when old, should be employed in making purées and soups; by so doing, the outer covering of cellulose, so irritating to the stomach, is removed.
