An excess of food can be given to a consumptive more easily by administering powdered raw meat than by any other method. Dujardin Beaumetz, who was an advocate of this method of treatment, recommended that the powder should be prepared from the lean of beef, which is cut into small pieces and dried in a water bath. When thoroughly dried it is reduced to powder in a coffee mill. The powder may be taken either with lentil flour in the form of soup, or with milk or rum punch. In this way an amount of powdered raw meat representing several pounds of meat can be taken daily. Abundant food would be, however, of little use if not combined with an abundance of fresh air. The aseptic stimulating air of the mountains, as at Davos, the ozone and revivifying breezes of the ocean, the sunlight and warmth of the South, Torquay, the Riviera, and Orotava, are all invaluable in the treatment of consumption. In fact, in some cases, warmth, sunlight, fresh air and the aseptic atmosphere of high altitudes, are sufficient to arrest the tubercular inflammation and to effect a cure. This result is probably due to the fact that the increased vitality of the patient, induced by placing him under healthful conditions, enables him to resist the destructive action of the microbes.
