The sexual life of woman in its physiological, pathological and hygienic aspects

by E. Heinrich Kisch

Fruits: Almost all fruits may be taken, raw, cooked, or preserved; also in the form of currant and other fruit cakes, and as fruit-ices.

Beverages: Milk, buttermilk, water, the same acidulated with various fruit-juices and essences (as lemonade, etc.), weak tea with plenty of milk, cocoa, chocolate. To be forbidden are: beer, strong and sweet wines, distilled spirits.

An example is subjoined of a simple diet-table compiled on the above principles:

		Quantity in grams.	Albumen.	Fat.	Carbohydrate.
Afternoon:
	A cup of milk	150	5.4	5.4	7.5
	Roll and butter	70	4.9	0.4	39.2
Middle of Morning:
	Soup	100	1.1	1.5	5.7
	Roll	70	4.9	0.4	39.2
Mid-Day Meal:
	Soup	100	1.1	1.5	5.7
	Roast meat	100	38.2	1.7
	Green vegetables	100	1.6	0.4	8.4
	Pudding	200	17.4	30.0	57.8
	Fruit	100	3.0		15.0
	Bread	35	2.4	0.2	19.0
Breakfast:
	A cup of milk	150	5.4	5.4	7.5
	Roll	70	4.9	0.4	39.2
Supper:
	Soup	100	1.1	1.5	5.7
	Two soft eggs	90	11.2	10.8	0.4
	Bread	70	4.9	0.4	39.2
	Fruit	100	3.0		15.0
Total		1,617	110.5	69.9	304.5
In addition, water, ad libitum, and perhaps a little light wine.

In many cases, however, a mainly vegetarian diet may be more suitable, and more particularly a mainly fruit diet, in order to diminish persistent congestive symptoms. In such cases the following diet-table may be recommended for short periods:

First breakfast: An apple and an orange.

Second breakfast: 25 grams of white bread with butter and three baked apples.

Dinner (mid-day): 100 grams fish or meat, potatoes, green vegetables, 3 boiled or baked apples.

Afternoon: An orange, or an apple, or a pear, or some grapes.

Supper: Milk, apples and rice, oranges, grapes, figs.
