BEEF TEA FOR INVALIDS.

MRS. W. COOK.

One pound lean beef and one pound veal, cut up small, and put in a wide mouthed jar. Pour two wineglasses of cold water or wine on it, one teaspoon salt, and a little mace if liked. Cork the jar well and tie a bladder over it. Place the jar in a deep saucepan of cold water which must not be allowed to cover the cork. Let it boil slowly four hours or more and strain through a sieve. One tablespoonful of this is equal to a cup of ordinary beef tea.
