COOKERY FOR THE SICK, 467 
TAFIOCA JELLY.— 
Pick the tapioca clean, soak it three or four hours in 
water, spread it on a broad dish; pour additional water till it 
covers the tapioca an inch in depth ; simmer over a slow fire 
until the jelly is formed. This contains a large amount of 
nutriment, aud is easy of digestion; it may be made with milk, 
and sweetened with sugar; if milk disagrees with the stomach 
it can be omitted. 
ARROWROOT JELLY.-= 
This is made by mixing half a teaspoonful of arrowroot 
with a teacupful of boiling water; season with nutmeg and 
sugar; this lies lightly on the stomach, and is very good for 
children. Or boil the arrowroot five minutes, and half a 
teaspoonful of cream added to a teacupful of the jelly while 
hot; it is very pleasant to children who have been accustomed 
to milk. 
REVALENTA ARABICA Fooop— 
Is produced from the Arabian lentil. It possesses natural 
restorative properties, and at the same time yields a great 
amount of nutriment, and may be recommended for persons 
advanced in age, invalids, and delicate children, and all who 
suffer from debility, &c. It imparts muscular strength and 
energy to the most enfeebled constitutions. We sell this 
article of diet, prepared in Dunedin, at half the price of the 
imported article, to which it is superior, being newly made.
