! A single sip OF cold ice water may be
administered to satisfy the fretfuI de
mand, but no more should be allowed.
! II the thirst is excessive, either rice or
toast water may be prepared.
To make rice water, says the Detroit
! GlI.) Press, put two tablespoonfuls OF
clean washed rice in a quart OF boiling
water, and let IL simmer !Or two hours
until the rice is pretty thoroughly dis
solved. Strain the whole through =
/ line wire strainer or bit OF coarse mus
Hin, aud flavor with a good pinch otsaIt
/ 1t can be drunk either hot or cold, and
stimulqn1S are prescribed, two table
: spoonfuls Of sherry added to this makes
il very palataole.
| Toast water, which is favorite
drink, is made by tOasting three or four
slices Of bread very brown and dry, aud
breaking these in small pieces in a pint
LOT cold water After soaking an hour
pour through napkin, squeezing the
toast until all the liquid passes
Through. II this is not found palatable,
/ and such additions are not forbidden by
! the doctor, a squeeze OF lemon juice i'm
proves it greatly in flavor.
/ For these weak from nausea or vOmit-
ling the best and most soothing foods
are broths of clans or oysters. Moth
ling apparently aids more rapidly In re-
! Cooperation after any Violent strain than
these juices Of shell fish, and those faint
/ from the long starvation OF violent sea-
! sickness find a magical quality in such
J brOthS, which must, however, be served
as hot as the patient can take them, as
the heat of the soup is one of its most
active restorative qualities and serves
10 revive the vital warmth lowered by
the emptiness and spasms OF the
stomach.
( FOR oyster broth chop eight large,
fresh oysters 10 a fine minCe and cover
them in a small saucepan with a cup Of
cold water. Let it come slowly to the
boiling point, aud then keep il gently
simmering for 10 more than five min
utes: strain into cup and serve very
hot with sippets of toast. II desired,
after the liquor is strained hall cup OF
fresh milk can be added, the whole re-
turned to the fire until it comes to
boil. Give q light sprinkle OF white
pepper into the cup and add pinch OF
salt. Clam broth is made by simply lay
ing half dozen large clans in their
shells these smells must have been pre-
vously we'll washed) in a saucepan with
a cur OF water. Let the water come 10
boil; when the clans open the broth
/ is done. Pour it of, but taste it TO see
/ il salt is needed. Usually not-clSms
being salt enough as rule, to give it all
the flavor needed.
Better and far more nutritious than
/ the commonly used beef tea is beef
Juice, which is made by cutting into
small pieces about the size of the tip OF
/ ones finger a pound OF good, fresh beef
/ from which all fat and gristle have been
removed. Put the beef In glass jar
A ouart preserve jar will serye-cover
I and set the Jar 10 deep sauce pan half
/ full of cold water. Let the water heat
gradually for an hour, but never let ii
reach the boiling point. At the end of
/ the hour the beef will have given out
|ouantity OF clear red juice. Four the
whole into q bit OF cheesecloth,
aud by squeezing the beef in this
still more of the Juice can be obtained.
/ Add little salt and serve hot. A pound
| OF beef will make ABOUT teaCupIul or
Juice, and ifmuch OF il is recommended
/ by the physician, the best way is 10 cut
/ six or eight pounds Of beef into gran
/ lite lined saucepan, setting this into
larger one holding water. II the juice
is kept covered and set upon ice, il will
keep for twenty-four hours. II this is
too strong for the patient little hot
water may Do used to dilute each cupful
as il is given, or else in making the
mice a cupiul OF cold water 10 every
pound Of meat may be added before set
/ ting upon the fire.
Very soon the convalesceut begins to
Grave desserts with his dinner, and
there are many dainty, harmless dishes
with which one can satisfy this desire
with perfect safety. One Of these is
rice custard, which is made by boiling
lin a double boiler, Of course-two
tablespoonfuls Of rice in two cups Of
