The daily Allowance of Bread was a Pound to those on full and middle
Diet, and Half a Pound to those on low Diet, or a Pound, if so ordered
by the Physician.
Those on full and middle Diet were allowed daily three Pints of Barley
or Rice Water; to each Pint of which were added two Spoonfuls of
Brandy, and a Quarter of an Ounce of Lump Sugar. Small Beer was
mentioned in the Diet Table; but this we could never have good; and
therefore was not used.
Those on low Diet were allowed Barley or Rice Water; to which some
Wine or Brandy was occasionally added, if ordered so by the Physician.
Besides this, the Physician might order an additional Quantity of
Wine, Brandy, or Milk, or Water Gruel, or any other Articles which he
thought proper for the Sick under his Care, and which could be got
easily.
