with cottage cheese.

Faulty mastication, peculiar susceptibilities to casein and an excess of
other solid foods often causes the distress which follows cheese eating.
If well emulsified with saliva by the teeth or mixed with water and not
gulped down, cottage cheese serves every sort of food purpose.

ALBUMINOUS BEVERAGES

The following recipes were kindly contributed by
Alida Frances Pattee, author of "Practical
Dietetics," an invaluable book for the home.

When a large amount of nutriment is required the albuminized drinks are
valuable.

The egg is a fluid food until its albumen is coagulated by heat. Often
the white of egg, dissolved in water or milk, and flavored, is given
when the yolk cannot be digested, as 30 per cent. of the yolk is fat.
Egg-nog is very nutritious, and is extensively prescribed in certain
non-febrile diseases, especially for the forced alimentation of phthisis
and melancholia. There are occasional cases of bilious habit, in which
eggs to be digested must be beaten in wine. But the combination of egg,
milk and sugar with alcohol, which constitutes egg-nog, is apt to
produce nausea and vomiting in a feeble stomach, especially in fever.
For this reason whole eggs are unfit for fever patients, and the whites
only should be used.

Albuminized drinks are most easily prepared cold. When a hot liquid is
used, it must be poured very slowly into the well-beaten egg, stirring
constantly, so that lumps of coagulated albumen do not form.

_For the Diabetic._ In all the albuminous drinks substitute Sweetina for
the sugar. The fuel value will be 60 calories less in every recipe than
when one tablespoon of sugar is used.
