Breakfast, Luncheon and Tea

by Marion Harland

1 cup milk, warm from the cow.

1 table-spoonful of best rum.

1 egg, whipped light with a little sugar.

A little nutmeg.

Pour the rum upon the egg-and-sugar; stir for a moment and add the milk; strain and drink.

It is a useful stimulant for consumptives, and should be taken before breakfast.

Clear Punch.

½ cup ice-water.

1 glass white wine (or very good whiskey).
