The first week after temperature subsides the patient may be given corn meal gruel, arrowroot, with milk', sago and rice.

Second week the patient may have oysters, claims, raw eggs with milk, milk toast and toasted crackers.

The patient should wait until ten days after temperature subsides before taking solid food, beginning with scraped beefsteak, poached eggs on toast and gradually increasing until normal diet is established.

The first week a convalescent patient should have plenty of fresh air and sunshine, soda baths daily and alcohol rubs, and may be permitted to sit up a little the latter part of the first week.

The second week a convalescent patient may be taken out in the open air and permitted to remain two or three hours at a time in a reclining position.

Should abnormal temperature return if the patient has been given solid food such food should be discontinued. - N. H. Morrison, Chief Surgeon, A. T. & S. F. R. R., Los Angeles, Calif.
