The apple- (F.) Pomme-is an agreeable fruit when ripe. When unripe, it disagrees, especially with those of weak digestive powers. The same may be said of the pear, (F.) Poire; the fruit of Pyrus communis, P. Sorbus seu Sativa, Pirus, Apios, (F.) Poirier. Apple Brandy is a spirituous liquor obtained from the juice of the apple, and much used in the United States.
