The New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

An eminent and experienced physician of New-York whose observations appeared in the Daily Advertiser of that city of the 26th ult. speaking of the effects of ripe fruits in their season upon the human frame convinced of their safety and real utility, says that he has never failed to recommend them even in those cases wherein they have been supposed to do harm. From their aperient and saponaceous quality, they temperate the bile, and any acrid humour in the first passages, and gently evacuate them;—and by these means become THE BEST PRESERVATIVES AGAINST DYSENTERIES which from an erroneous Opinion they have been charged with being the cause of. From a full persuasion of their good effects, I have always, says he, permitted their use in this complaint, and in putrid fevers, with success; and once obtained the most speedy relief to an elderly man at Newark in the last stage of an acute and putrid Dysentery, by a free indulgence of ripe peaches.
