Description

"Telling Fortunes with Foods," California Fruit Growers Exchange, printing of April 1929 (copyright date of 1927.) The item discusses the medical problem of "acidosis" and how consuming oranges and lemons can ease the condition. There are several pages of menus, all including some "Sunkist" brand fruit during the day's listings. There are also recipes for fruit drinks. Illustrations have vignettes with created scenarios involving "acidosis." On the inside back cover is an ad for an electric juicer. With almost no indication of wear or damage, the condition is good.
