ardelles, mixed
pickles and similar spicy dishes. Form VI is best for patients suffering
from scrofulosis.

_I. and II. B. For Tuberculosis Patients._

Patients who suffer from diseases of the lungs or other tubercular
tissues do not require food of different composition than is generally
recommended, provided their digestive organs are healthy. They must have
albumen (medium fat beef, veal lean pork, haddie, pickled herring, eggs,
brick cheese, peas) and fat in sufficient, even abundant quantity.
Warmed milk is recommended especially. Variety in food should prevail.
This will be the best means of overcoming the dangerous lack of
appetite, which must be stimulated by delicacies and cleverly prepared
dishes given between meals, sandwiches, cold fowl, jellies, piquant cold
meats. The single portions should be small but frequent. Good beer rich
in malt, sherry, malaga and other sweet wines, are all able to promote
the appetite, unless the physician orders strict abstinence from
alcohol.

In case of haemorrhage of the lungs, the physician will generally
prescribe liquid food exclusively, and his orders must be observed
strictly. In such cases it is very advisable to take gelatine, which can
be prepared in a variety of ways, or meat jellies.

Care should be taken in all forms of tubercular patients, that the
special tissue gets its special composition.

_I. and II. C. For Syphilitic Patients._

The diet for people affected with syphilis does not vary from the one
given under I and II. A. for scrofulous patients. Just as in the case of
scrofulosis, a rich diet is recommended for syphilis. (Form VI).

In former times starvation-cures were applied in case of syphilis, based
on the hypothesis that diseased humours in the body should be reduced.
In view of the noxious effect which the disease exercises on the entire
body, this method has been given up. In case of the hereditary syphilis
of infants, the best possible diet for the mother must always be
insisted upon. (Never less than Form VI and Dech-Manna Eubiogen, with
each meal). If nursing by the mother is impossible, and since a
wet-nurse cannot be subjected to the danger of contamination through the
child, easily digestible substitutes for mother's milk should be
selected; that is, not cow's milk, but other approved nutritive foods
for infants. It will be most beneficial to add Dech-Manna Eubiogen
Liquid to the child's food.
