Milk Diet.

The use of milk und eggs as a diet os an aid in building up u patient is often a trial to the nurso. Many putionta will ake milk slightly warm, or uven hot, and digest it readily, whon cold milk causes distress. It is an excellent plan to rinse the mouth with oold, 000 l or not water, as preferred, before and after drinking milk. The taste left in tho mouth of many persons after a drink of milk, especially a small quantity, often causes the patient to disukc it. The secret of success in giving milk and eggs to those who would rather not tuko them is to prepare then in different ways. For a delmate stomach the white of the egg, well beaten, added to hot or oold milk sweetened to taste, will often prove tempting, when even the sight of the yolk with .milk is unpleasant. After atfmo a little of the yolk may be used, the white of the egg being added lust and not stirred into the milk, but left at tho top of the glass for ornament. With careful preparation and a little ingenuity the mixture oan be varied. A champagne glass Is of a convenient size for a small quantity, and it is better to oiler a person a wineglassful than a oup or glass full when only part will bo taken. A siok person likes to empty a dish; it is hotter to repeat a small quantity than to take more to the patient than ho oan use. A soft-boiled custard will provo a ploasant change from raw eggs and milk. This may be made tempting with white of egg, —[Boston Cultivator.
