For the bill of fare of these patients I recommend especially: Roast
beef and veal, underdone beefsteak à l’Anglaise, ham; roasted venison,
hare, partridge, grouse, fieldfare, hazel-hen, ptarmigan, pheasant,
chicken, pigeon, turkey, oysters; asparagus, cauliflower, and spinach.
For variety, fish or shellfish may occasionally be taken. Sweetbread in
soup or with sauce forms a very delicious and easily digestible dish.
_Kahane_ recommends for chlorotic patients the systematic use of
Bavarian beer, to the amount of about two pints daily; it should, he
says, be a beer rather dark in tint, full-brewed, rich in malt, but
containing a comparatively small proportion of hops, alcohol, and
carbonic acid. _Jaworski_ has recommended a dietetic iron-beer,
containing 4.7 per cent. of alcohol and from 0.0317 to 0.0644 per cent.
of iron.
When girls are at the same time anæmic and very thin, fat-containing
foods must be taken in abundance, such as milk, butter, and cream; also
large quantities of carbohydrates. Farinaceous foods, rice, potatoes,
arrowroot, sago, tapioca, oatmeal, barley meal, carrots, turnips, sweet
fruits, grapes, dates, pippins, plums, pears, and preserved fruits—all
these must appear at table more frequently than usual; beverages, in
addition to milk, that are suitable are chocolate and cocoa, Bavarian
beer, and sweet, heavy wines.
The diet-table of such thin chlorotic patients should be as follows:
First breakfast, 7.30 to 8 A. M.: Coffee or cocoa with milk, or a pint
of milk, white bread and butter, honey. Second breakfast, 10 A. M.: Half
a pint to a pint of milk, egg and bread and butter, or sandwiches of
sausage, ham, or roast meat. Mid-day dinner, 1 P. M.: Soup, roast meat
with vegetables and potatoes, or fish may take the place of the soup,
sweets to follow. Afternoon, 4 P. M.: Coffee with milk, or a pint of
milk, with bread and butter. Supper, 7.30 P. M.: A plate of meat with
accessories. Evening, 9 P. M.: A glass of milk.
In the treatment of the anæmic form of obesity, to which chlorotic
patients of the better classes are subject, in consequence of sedentary
habits and overfeeding, the diet must be so arranged that albumins
predominate, whilst carbohydrates should be given sparingly, and as
little fat as possible. As the average quantities of the food elements
required in such cases, I suggest, 200 grammes of albumin, 12 grammes of
fat, and 100 grammes of carbohydrate.
The quantity of fluid taken must be as small as possible, since the
deprivation of water may result in a proportionate increase in the solid
constituents of the blood, and thus increase its hæmoglobin-richness.
