Repeat this bill of fare on
successive days.
Some interchange of the different articles may be made according to the
season and to suit the appetite or convenience of patients; but in the
main this bill of fare should be followed, with occasional substitution
of similar articles, if necessary.
Bread at least 24 hours old may be taken as desired.
A little old cheese may be grated on the macaroni and spaghetti, but not
cooked with it.
One boiled or poached egg may be taken for breakfast every other day,
and very fat bacon on the alternate days, unless otherwise directed by
the physician.
It is desirable to eat the skin of potatoes, baked or boiled.
Each and every meal should be eaten very slowly, for at least half an
hour, with long chewing.
One tumbler of water, not iced, is to be taken with each meal, but not
when food is in the mouth; also a tumbler full of hot water, one hour
before breakfast and supper.
No milk is to be taken unless specially ordered.
The vegetable soups are to be made from a stock composed of the water in
which all vegetables, including potatoes, have been boiled, added to,
day by day, kept hot, and allowed to evaporate; a portion is each day
thickened as desired with barley, rice, farina, sago, vermicelli, etc.
The cereals are to be boiled with water, three or four hours, and may be
cooked in the afternoon and re-heated in the morning, adding more water.
Rice, farina, and cream of wheat require only an hour. Chopped dates,
figs, raisins, or currants may be added to cereals when desired.
All the cereals are to be served very hot, on hot plates, and eaten with
butter and salt to taste (not milk and sugar). They are to be eaten very
slowly, with a fork, and very well chewed.
The crackers with supper may be varied to suit the taste; they should be
eaten dry, with butter, and chewed very thoroughly.
Nothing should be taken between meals, unless especially directed, and
the life should be as simple and healthful as possible, with early and
long bed hours.
