Three or four eggs, whipped five or six minutes, into which whip a teaspoonful of sugar, and a teaspoonful of Cognac brandy or lemon juice, to each egg
Note: The brandy is germicidal and aids in the digestion of the egg yolks.
LUNCHEON
From three to four eggs, prepared as for breakfast, slightly increasing the quantity of sugar and brandy. Put in a heaping teaspoonful of sugar and a dessert-spoonful of brandy, and add a full glass of milk to each egg
DINNER
Any one or two fresh vegetables, including something green, as spinach or lettuce
The fresh vegetables may consist of:
| A baked potato | Squash |

The patient may have a few grapes between meals and a few an hour after dinner. He should swallow the seeds and pulp whole, and masticate and swallow the skins. He should eat plenty of fresh eggs, fresh milk, and ripe, sweet grapes. The milk and the eggs are good tissue-building foods, while sugar is a carbohydrate and makes a good winter food. The grapes are full of grape-sugar, which is an excellent nutrient, and also an aid to the digestion of other foods.
