Whites of two fresh eggs, juice of half a lemon, cracked ice. During convalescence the doctor often orders eggs, eggs, eggs, and sometimes it is difficult to induce the patient to accept them. As is frequently the case that the white of the egg is the part which is most desirable for the patient, the following recipe may be used when everything else has failed: Put the unshaken whites of two fresh eggs in a lemonade-glass. Add the lemon juice and put in enough cracked ice to make the glass half full. Sweeten with especial care, as patients generally make more objection to too much sugar than too little. Place a shaker over the glass and shake until the whites are thoroughly broken up, but not too foamy. Put in enough cold water to fill the glass and give to the patient at once.
