When a patient cannot take milk, the difficulties of feeding are much increased. A nurse is frequently pushed to her wit's end to give an attractive and palatable variety of liquid foods. The name of gruel | frequently suggests to the patient a bowl of unpalatable slop, but an endless number of delightful gruels can be made if a little time and attention are given to their preparation. Both oatmeal and Indian meal gruels have loosening effects upon the bowels, and are consequently objectionable where there is a tendency to diarrhoea. In such cases, however, they may be made from boiled milk, or if made from water, should be boiled a considerable length of time. Where the stomach is acid a tablespoonful of lime-water may be added.

The following recipes are very valuable, and are simple enough to be made successfully by the least experienced in cooking.

INDIAN GRUEL.

Put two tablespoonfuls of yellow granulated corn meal into a pint of cold water, stir it around for a moment, and then carefully drain away all the water. Add to the meal a pint of boiling water, cover the saucepan and simmer for thirty minutes. Put one lump of loaf sugar, a tablespoonful of cream and a piece of butter the size of a hickory nut into a porridge bowl, pour of the gruel into it and serve. This is delicious.

OATMEAL GRUEL.

Put two even tablespoonfuls of oatmeal into one pint of boiling water, add a grain of salt, and simmer thirty minutes, strain throngh a sieve and add a tablespoonful of whipped cream or the well-beaten white of one egg and a lump of loaf sugar.

PLUM PORRIDGE.

Put twelve good-sized raisins with a pint of milk in a double boiler, cover, and cook for twenty minutes. Moisten a level teaspoonful of corn starch with a little cold milk, add it to the hot milk, stir and cook two minutes, strain and add one lump of loaf sugar. Serve

warm.

PLAIN ARROW ROOT GRUEL.

Moisten two level tablespoonfuls of arrow root in a little cold water, add a half pint of boiling water, cook a moment, take from the fire, add a tablespoonful of sugar and two tablespoonfuls of sherry.

[ocr errors]

ARROW ROOT WITH EGG.

Separate one egg. Beat the white and yolk until very light, then mix them carefully, add slowly one pint of plain arrow root gruel. Serve with toasted crackers.

FARINA GRUEL.

Put one pint of milk in a double boiler, sprinkle into it two level tablespoonfuls of Hecker's farina, stir and cook for ten minutes, add a grain of salt and a lump of loaf sugar.

This gruel may also be made from water and served with cream, butter and sugar, the same as Indian gruel.

SAGO GRUEL.

Add two tablespoonfuls of sago to a pint of cold water, bring it slowly to boiling point, boil five min-. utes, take from the fire, add a lump of sugar and two tablespoonfuls of sherry.

Serve with strips of toasted bread.

GERMAN GRUEL.

Put one pint of flour into a small strong bag and tie it tightly with twine, throw it into a kettle of boiling water and boil five hours. When done take off the cloth and peel off the outside moist portion. Grate the ball, then put it in a baking pan and dry in a moderate oven for two hours, being very careful not to brown. Moisten two tablespoonfuls of this flour with a little cold water, stir it into a half-pint of boiling water, simmer for three minutes, add a grain of salt and a tablespoonful of sugar, add a gill of good milk, and it is ready to serve.

This is considered especially good for children during the warm months.

RICE FLOUR GRUEL.

Mix two even teaspoonfuls of rice flour with four tablespoonfuls of cold milk, then add to it a half pint of scalding milk, put it in a double boiler and cook for five minutes, stirring all the time, add a grain of salt, a lump of loaf sugar, a quarter teaspoonful of ground cinnamon and a teaspoonful of brandy.

This gruel is exceedingly beneficial in cases of diarrhoea.

CARRAGEEN GRUEL.

Wash thoroughly a half ounce of Irish moss, put it in a double boiler with a pint of boiling water, and let it stand where it cannot possibly boil will keep hot but, for two hours, then strain, add a half cup of granulated sugar and the juice of half a lemon.

Regarding the use of SCOTT'S EMULSION OF PURE COD LIVER OIL WITH HYPOPHOSPHITES OF LIME AND SODA In no other agent, nor in all other agents, perhaps, is there such universal reliance placed by the medical profession in the treatment of Scrofula, Phthisis and other forms of wasting diseases as in Cod Liver Oil, and yet there is no other food or medicine so needlessly placed at a disadvantage in its administration as this remedy is when prescribed plain or in the form of an indifferent Emulsion.

Apart from its dietetic properties pure Norwegian Cod Liver Oil is an Alterative, a Disinfectant, a Ger micide, due to its richness in Phosphorus, Bromine and Iodine, and a therapeutic agent of varied and extensiveapplication, but its greatest utility depends on the form of its administration.

Almost any digestive organ can be trained to tolerate plain Cod Liver Oil to a great or less extent, but the physiology of digestion, as well as experience, shows the inability of the pancreatic fluid with other solvents of the Duodenum to Emulsify Oil to the condition of assimilation to an extent demanded in wasting diseases. Physicians recognized this fact years ago, and chemists have since been endeavoring to solve the: problem of a perfect Emulsion (the digestion of Oil), but not until within the last few years have we, who were first and always advanced in its manufacture, succeeded in making SCOTT'S EMULSION an absolutely perfect preparation.

In the manufacture of SCOTT's EMULSION no chemical change whatever takes place in the Oil, but each globule is divided and subdivided into a state of minute subdivision, or until its consistency becomes that of its menstruum, Glycerine and Mucilage, when its permanency is established for all time and under all conditions... The formula for SCOTT'S EMULSION is 50 per cent. of the finest Norwegian Cod Liver Oil, 6 grains Hypophosphite of Lime: and 3 grains Hypophosphite of Soda to the fluid ounce, Emulsified, or digested to the condition of assimilation with chemically pure Glycerine and Mucilage.

The permanency and efficiency of Scott's Emulsion is equaled only by its palatability. No child is so young or adult so morbidly sensitive as to find any objection to its use.

Physicians are requested to send for samples-delivered free and compare its medicinal effects with any or all other agents upon the sick.

CHERRY-MALT PHOSPHITES.

A Combination of the tonic principles of the Prunus Virginiana, Malted Barley, Hypophosphites of Lime and
Soda, and Fruit Juices. An elegant and efficient brain and nerve tonic. Send for samples.

DR. WILLIAM A. HAMMOND announces to the medical profession that he has returned from New York to Washington, D. C where he has established, in a building especially erected for the purpose, a Sanitarium for the treatment of mild and curable cases of mental derangement, diseases of the nervous system generally, cases of morphia and chloral habits, and such other affections as may properly be treated by the remedial agencies under his control.

The Sanitarium is situated on Columbia Heights, at the corner of Fourteenth Street and Sheridan Avenue. The position is the highest in the immediate vicinity of Washington, the soil is dry, and all the surroundings are free from noxious influences Electricity in all its forms, baths, douches, massage, inhalations, nursing, etc., are provided as may be required by patients, in addition to such other medical treatment as may be deemed advisable.

A large Solarium for sun-baths and exercise in cold or inclement weather and heated with steam in winter, is constructed on the top of the main building.

The Sanitarium has now been in successful operation since the 7th of January, 1889

For further information, Dr. Hammond can be addressed at The Sanitarium, Fourteenth Street and Sheridan Avenu Washington, D. C.

"Nervous debility and neuralgia are often the results of nerve starvation. They are now, more than ever, the dread of every intelligent physician, and the terror of all business men. The weary hours of pain, and the sleepless nights of those suffering from nervous diseases, are but the beseechings of an exhausted nerve for food. Hungry and starved, they make their wants known by the pain they set up as their only agonizing cry; and no medication will give permanent relief until the hunger is satisfied.

Our research, then, must be to find a more easily digested and assimilated food.

Observation seems to sanction the fact that vegetable food elements are more readily assimilated by persons of feeble digestion than are the animal food elements, and especially when they have undergone the digestive process in the stomachs of healthy cattle. The juices of these animals, when healthy and fat, must contain all the food elements in a state of solution most perfect, and freed from all insoluble portions, and hence in a form more easily assimilated than any other known food.

I have used Raw Food Extracts for more than eight years, in a large number and variety of cases, and in no case of malnutrition has it failed to give relief.

I have given it to patients continuously for months, with signal benefit, especially in complicated cases of dyspepsia, attended with epigastric uneasiness arising from enervation, and in nervous debility of long standing. The sudden and full relief this food affords patients who have a constant faintness at the stomach, even immediately after taking food, shows how readily it is assimilated. This faintness is a form of hunger, and is the cry of the tissues for food, not quantity but qualitya food that the famishing tissues can appropriate and thrive upon.

Raw Food is equally adapted to lingering acute diseases. I have used it in the troublesome sequelae of scarlatina, where there was exhaustion from abscesses in the vicinity of the carotid and submaxillary glands; and in protracted convalescence from typhoid fever, with marked advantage. The cases that I especially value it in are laryngeal consumption and nervous exhaustion, in which cases there is always more or less derangement of the digestive tract, such as pain in the stomach, constipation, eructation of gases, distress after taking food, etc. Raw Food should be taken with each meal, the patients taking such other food as they can readily digest, in quantities suited to the individual case.

It adds much to the nutrition of the patient, overcomes the constipation, subdues the nervousness by increasing the strength, and is just the amount added which is required to secure success."

The unsolicited opinion of Surgeon-General Murray, U. S. A. (Retired).

"It gives me pleasure to give my testimony to the very great value of BOVININE as a dietetic preparation. I have used it for more than a year in a very aggravated case of nervous dyspepsia, and have found it to answer very much better than any of the many preparations or extracts of meat before used.

I find that it keeps perfectly even in the warmest weather; is very easily prepared for administration, and it has proved acceptable and beneficial in every case in which I have known it to be given." PHILADELPHIA, PA., March 1st, 1887. Very respectfully and truly yours,
