If, by attention and care, the treatment has succeeded in strengthening
the energy of the resisting organism to a certain degree during the
fever, it becomes necessary in due course to regulate the desire for
food, which sometimes grows and asserts itself in a rapid and energetic
manner, while the fever is receding.

The cessation of fever by no means indicates that the ulcers are
completely healed, and any mistake as to quantity and quality of food
may cause a relapse. Liquid diet must, therefore, be given exclusively
for at least, another eight days after the fever has ceased. After this,
from week to week, gradually, the use of Form III, may be employed and
thereafter more solid food, as given anon, under Form IV.

_These cautions must be strictly heeded, especially in case of typhus
recurrens._

If in the course of typhus severe complications, such as hemorrhage of
the intestines or perforation thereof, should supervene, nourishment
must immediately be reduced to a minimum. In such instances it is best
to confine the diet to mucilaginous soup and to forbid everything else,
as long as hemorrhages have not ceased, or the other dangerous
peritonitic symptoms have not disappeared. Gradually, Form V and lastly,
Form VI, may be followed.

_Form IV. Diet of the lightest kind, containing meat, but only in
scraped or shredded form._ Noodle soup, rice soup.

food.)_
