carbohydrates--very little meat--no sweetbread, kidneys, brains, liver
or spleen; meat, if taken at all, must be boiled.

Not permitted: game, pickled fish, piquant sauces, beef broth.

Dispense with meat, raw celery, radishes, pears, cucumbers, even
asparagus in large amounts, at least during the state of inflammation.
Eat eggs only in a raw or very soft boiled state. In place of these
foods make up a diet of milk preparations, rice, groats, oats, millet,
buckwheat. Currant juice and wild cherries, apple sauce, diluted lemon
juice, are all of great benefit. Soups made from squash, cucumbers or
celery, haw tea, buttermilk and sour milk, mild cheese, or porridge and
fruit are excellent supper dishes.

_For Liver Disease._

In general, fatty substances should be eliminated as much as possible
from the nourishment in the case of liver disease, jaundice and gall
stones.

To be recommended are light farinaceous dishes with milk, vegetables,
fruit and all easily digestible foods.

Meat must be taken only in very small quantities, according to the
advice of the physician, and with very little fat. Spices and alcohol
are prohibited. Pastry and rich foods must be avoided.

In case of jaundice the patient should receive liquid food only during
the first few days, consisting of soups, light tea, carbonated waters;
later, milk, the yolks of eggs, zwieback and light milk dishes.

Patients suffering from gall stones may receive the same diet as
prescribed for those suffering from liver disease, generally speaking.

In case of liver disease it is necessary to adhere very strictly to the
prescriptions of the physician, since they are due to various reasons,
and only the physician can give the proper individual directions, after
having determined the cause.

Every morning on rising, a glass of unsweetened lemonade, or a
wineglass of currant wine or grape juice, or some acid fruit.--The same
on retiring at night.

For a second breakfast, four or six radishes, or a tablespoonful of
grated radish, or a teaspoonful of horseradish mixed with broth and
white bread, eaten with a little toast and butter.--The same for supper.

The following are a few suggestions for dinner without meat:

Cabbage, potato porridge, gooseberries with egg and milk sauce.--Lentils
with potatoes and fresh greens, cresses or lettuce, fruit.--Savoy
cabbage with rice and tomato sauce, fruit with millet cakes.--Leeks with
potatoes, macaroni and plums.--Y
