DIET FOR THE SICK

Nourishing the sick is not always
an easy problem, but its Importance
can hardly be overestimatcd Indeed,
proper feeding in many illnesses
makes the difference between life and
death. The actual amount of noCr-
ishment needed is sickness is often less
than in health, but it may be just as
great or ven greater if the illness
causes increased tissues waste. Yet
the digestive processes Of sick per
son must be rendered as little labor
ious. as possible, all fods ordinarily
difficult to digest must be eliminated,
certain others must be withheld or re-
stricted according to the nature of the
sickness, and, in addition, one may
have ito deal with All appetite thas
is capricious, diminished or totally.
Substances used for food are gen
orally grouped into three classes cal
led the three nutrimcnts. The nutri-
ments arc. First, the proteids or
heterogeneous substances which are
found in butter, oil, the fat Of meat,
and the like. In addition to the nut:l-
ments, water and certain mineral salts
are essential to life, while some inGi-
gestiblc material like the fibre OF veg
tables is needed to give bulk and 20
stimulate the action of the intestine.
The nutriments furnish the body
with material for growth and for re-
)air of tissues worn out By use; they
also furnish fuel substances from
which the body obtains its heat and
is energy All three nutriments can
serve as fuel, but the proteids alone
can furnish materials for growth and
repair Of tissues, In order to be used
By the body for any purpose, nutri-
nlent must first go through the series
Of complicated changes known as d.
gestion.
People who are Ill often need q dif-
ferent combination Of food substances
or q combination in different proper
ions from what they need when well,
and diet for the sick is often a parT,
and a very important part, OF mcdi- |
al treatment; in such cases the doctor !
will prescribed special diets and his |
riders must be carefully carried out.
Except for special diets, food for the
lick is generally divided into four
lasses: First, liquid or fluid diet, Sc
ond, semi solid diet; third, light or
onvalsent diet; and lastly, full diet.
'hese diets are not always sharply
distinguished, but it is necessary for
ny person who cares for the sick 20

might furthermore have taken up the matter with mem

Again the members of the bar of Alexandria could
have effected revolution in divorce methods had they
likewise made earnest and sincere effort Or, OF
the civic bodies could have taken tup number OF ct

conditions if not complete reform All these methods
would have been effective and would have spared Alexan
dria the humiliation it has recently endured.
But the truth is that the public the bar and the minis
try have alike been lax in the matter This too is not
strange as it might Vague rumors are suf
fcient upon which to base Indictment And, as we
have repeatedly stated in these columns what is every
bodys business is nobody's business.
The point we wish to make here is that any method
which would have kept the publicity less at home;
which would have precuded the washing of dirty linen
in the public view of the naton would have been Infinitely
preferable to the methods which have been dsasrousy

himself could not have devised suitable to his
purposes-snce they have engendered bitterness OF feel

dire that we shall indeed be glad if they do not breed still
worse.

stated explicitly that it had but desireto see the
