Diet in FeUer

TT is highly important that fever pa
tients should receive a proper amount
of food, and food of the right sort Phys
io.oglcal experiments have shown that dur
ing fever, especially when the temperature
is high, the muscles, glands and blood are
rapidly destroyed. This is the reason for
the great weakness as we'll as emaciatlon
of the fever patient whose temperature has
run very high for some days From care
full Investigations May reached the con-
clusion that the destruction of the tissues
in fever is due to the lack of carbo-
hydrates,
More recently conducted experiments show
that by feeding an abundance OF carbo-
hydrates the wasting of the muscles and
the extraordinary weakening of the body
which frequently occur may be prevented.
This is a matter of very great Importance.
1t Is also interesting to note that these
scientific experiments confirm the practical
observations made long ago by physicians
that the best diet for fever patients con-
sists of farinaceous preparations, fruits and
fruit juices, Niemeyer the eminent German
physician. fed his fever patients on fruit
soup, a very popular dish in Germany.
Hippocrates the most famous physician of
ancient Greece, recommended for fever pa
tients thin cruel prepared from barley
''ptisan."
The starvation plan of treating fever pa
tients is known to be positively dangerous
and should be abandoned. The diet should
consist of fruits fruit juices and cereal
preparations. The juice of fresh fruits is
greatly to be preferred TO cooked fruits for
the reason that cooking destroys the pre-
cious vitamines of which the fever patient
stands greatly in need Won Hoesslin
demonstrated long ago that fever patients
should be given quite a liberal supply of
food Of the right sort to prevent the great
weakening which Is certain TO occur from
the combined influence of the fever pro-
cesses and starvation.
