Break an egg into an egg-cup or patty-pan, sprinkle slightly with salt, and steam over boiling water until the white is set.
SCRAMBLED EGG
Heat two tablespoonfuls of water in a saucepan, break into it a fresh egg, and stir lightly until set, but not stiff. Add salt, and serve on toast.
BAKED MILK
Put the milk into an earthen jar, cover the opening with a white paper, and bake in a moderate oven until thick as cream. May be taken by the most delicate stomach.
TAPIOCA CUP CUSTARD
Soak one tablespoonful of tapioca in a small cup of milk for two hours; then stir in the beaten yolk of a fresh egg, a teaspoonful of sugar, and a very little salt; turn into a cup, and bake in the oven for twelve or fifteen minutes.

And write her fair words still in foulest letters?
She either gives a stomach, and no food,—
