 found highly nutritive, and be the means at the same time of keep-

 substituted for the crushed oats with great advantage. But no 

 method of exhibiting nourishment can be suggested, which combines

 cessive debility after severe diseases — and I cannot help observing, 

 once for all, that rare indeed must be the case, where there can ever 

 be a necessity for having recourse to the use of the drenching-horn^ 

 where fresh grass and good corn are at hand.
