stir into the rice. Bake in a nicely buttered dish for half an hour. To be 

 eaten with a very little nice butter, or sauce, if preferred.

 think, most families will be willing to help them dispose of the surplus, if it.

5 5 . Tapioca, Cream Pudding. — Tapioca, 3 table spoonfuls ; water and 

 milk, 1 qt. ; 3 eggs; a little salt; lemon or vanilla to flavor. Dikections — 

 Cover the tapioca with water and let soak 4 hours; pour off what water is left, 

 put the milk over the fire, and as soon as it boils stir in the beaten yolks of the 

 eggs and the salt, then the tapioca, and stir till it begins to thicken. Make a 

 frosting of the whites and brown a moment only, having added the flavoring. 

 This is very palatable and very nourishing. 



56. Graham Pudding — Steamed.— Boiling water, 1 pt. ; graham 

 flour, salt; hot milk, 1 pt.; 1 egg. Directioks — Stir into the boiling water 

 suflleient graham flour to make a stiff paste; adding the egg, beaten, and a little 

 salt; then stir into the hot milk and steam 3^ of an hour— the steam being up 

 when the dish is set in the steamer. Serve with maple syrup, or nice cream 

 and sugar, or any other sauce preferred. 



57. £gg Toast. — A fresh egg, nice bread, not less than one day old, 

 salt and hot water. Directions- Toast the bread only to a light brown; 

 break the egg into hot water on the stove, and cook only to "set" the white; 

 put a little salt into sufficient hot water, dip the toasted bread, quickly, into it, 

 and place it on a hot plate, and put on the egg, adding a sprinkle of salt 

 only. 



Remarks. — It is presumed that if this is done nicely, according to directions, 

 and the patient is able to digest this kind of food, it will be found enjoyable. 

 At another time a soft toast, with water or sometimes with milk, of course, hot, 

 \n either case will give the needed varieties, to meet different tastes and cir- 

 cumstances.

 •able-spoonful of it, and mix smoothly in a little cold milk; then stir this mixture 

 <nto 1 pt. of boiling milk, and boil a few minutes, and sweeten with loaf sugar, 

 and add a little nutmeg, if desired. Very valuable in diarrhea of children or 

 adults. 



59. Wine Jelly —In placet- where none of the common fruit jellies are 

 obtainable, the following will make an excellent substitute: Boil white sugar, 

 }i lb., in 1 gill of water. Have dissolved isinglass, 1 oz., in a little water, and 

 strain into the syrup; and when nearly cold add 3^ pt. of wine; mix well in a 

 bowl or suitable dish; cover. For convalescents or those getting up from
