As warm weatner ren ders us incapable of doing as much work, in summer as in winter, and as work was intended, in part, to work ou the wastes of the sys tem, some substitute must be pro vided, some compensating power. That power is the liver, It jnust be made to do more work in sum mer, and a beneficent Providence has made provision for this in sending us theberries and fruits of warm weather, which contain on ingredient (the acid) which, Iter six thousand vears, the French found out, has its efficacy towards cooling off the body by acting: on the liver having an effect upon it to make it work more actively, and thus more promptly remove the bile, wnicn is the waste matter of the system, from the blood. Everybody knew that fruits and berries were cool ing were "healthy;" but how they were, w'as nok definitely known until within a very few years. The wisdom and benevo lenceof our Maker in this thing surely, will command our affec tions, in that he has provided these fruits and berries in such generous profusion, and combined a neces sary quality, with such a delicious taste, that every soul of man is perfectly ranous for them, and we can eat them, without harm, to our utmost fill, if tipe, raw, and perfect, and takeiawne. J In the absence of fruits and ber rie8, we may. obtau-the needed natural acid fromhe lemon, di luted wkhwaterj but the most universally available acid drink for summer, as a natural aid to the liver, is buttermilk, not an ounce of which Should ever be wasted, to be taken at rneal times," or be tween meals- when thirsty. For the harvest fieid.a butter milk is the safest, . most healthful, and cooling ofsummer, drinks, to be ta.ken at the temperature of the air.'
