Every nurse knows the value of beef
tea in the different stages Of illness, az
combined stimulant and nutriment.
Scridner's Monthly gives three ways of
making it:
l. Cut into small pieces, pound OF
perfectly lean beef. Add five OF six
drops Of muriatic acid-and stir for a
moment. The acid, disengaging all
the nutrinent part of the meat from
the fibre, leaves clear red juice which
is strained of, heated very hot, and
seasoned with salt, and, if the patient
likes it, pepper. This beef-tea has
frequently prolonged and saved life in
desperate cases.
.. Beef-tea made in bottle:
One pound of perfectly lean beef is
cut into small dice, placed in strong
quart bottle, corked, and set to boil in
pot OF water. The heat disengaging
the juice of the beef, gives after three
hours cooking strong and very nour

root stirred in while the beef-tea is
heating, makes an excellent addition

than replace other food:

season with salt, pepper, and, if the
doctor permits, a sonPcon of tomato
catsup. A little rice boiled with the
tea makes it nice-or sprig of celery
dropped in to lend flavor. This soup
is admirable food, and almost all sick
persons will be found to like it.
