or veal, if there is no butter in the dish. Sprinkle a little salt over.
Eggs.
An egg broken into a cup of tea, or beaten and mixed with a basin of milk, makes
a breakfast more supporting than tea solely.
An egg divided, and the yolk and white beaten separately, then mixed with a
glass of wine, will afford two very wholesome draughts, and prove lighter than
when taken together.
Eggs very little boiled, or poached, taken in small quantity, convey much
nourishment; the yolk only, when dressed, should be eaten by invalids.
A great Restorative.
Bake two calves' feet in two pints of water, and the same quantity of new milk,
in a jar close-covered, three hours and a half. When cold remove the fat.
Give a large tea-cupful the last and first thing. Whatever flavour is approved,
give it by baking in it lemon-peel, cinnamon, or mace. Add sugar after.
Another.--Simmer six sheep's trotters, two blades of mace, a little cinnamon,
lemon-peel, a few hartshorn shavings, and a little isinglass, in two quarts of
water to one; when cold, take off the fat, and give near half a pint twice a
day, warming with it a little new milk.
Another.--Boil one ounce of isinglass-shavings, forty Jamaica peppers, and a bit
of brown crust of bread, in a quart of water to a pint, and strain it.
This makes a pleasant jelly to keep in the house; of which a large spoonful may
be taken in wine and water, milk, tea, soup, or any way.
Another, a most pleasant Draught.--Boil a quarter of an ounce of
isinglass-shavings with a pint of new milk, to half: add a bit of sugar, and,
for change, a bitter almond.
Give this at bed-time, not too warm.
Dutch flummery, blamange, and jellies, as directed in pages 187, 188, and 196,
or less rich according to judgment.
