WHAT TO DRINK

\n

the islands which lie in the Atlantic off the state of South Carolina. This is large full rice and is by far the most desirable for use for invalids and children. Wash the rice in cold water, rubbing it well between the hands. Allow water to run over it until the water runs clear. Throw the washed rice in a quart of cold water, and cook rapidly until it boils hard. Then cook slower over a lower fire until rather mushy. Two hours is not too long for the boiling. Strain through a fine sieve. Add a little salt, or if the patient greatly prefers, and sugar will not harm, sweeten slightly. This is used in cases of dysentery with salt only, as a drink.

RICE MILK

i ounce of rice (Sea Island), i pint of milk, Salt or sugar.

Wash the rice as directed in the foregoing recipe, and put into a saucepan with the milk. Boil for one hour. Add salt to taste or a very little sugar. The salt is preferable. Do not strain this.

TOAST WATER

pint of water.

i

Select the crust of the bread, cut at least an inch thick; toast or dry it until brown in the oven, being sure that it does not burn or scorch, but is thoroughly brown. Put this in a deep bowl and pour one pint of cold water over it, allowing it to stand for one hour. Strain and use. One may season with a little salt or a sprinkling of celery salt. It may be served either hot or cold.
