The dietetic treatment of tuberculosis of the lymphatic glands, the general health of the patient being good, is to place him in the best possible hygienic conditions, and at once begin the standard tuberculous dietary (q.v.). Probably it is best to give the extra nourishment in the form of 1 pint of milk, two raw eggs, and 1/2 lb. raw-beef juice, in soup or sandwiches, per diem (p. 424).

In tuberculosis of bones and joints, the general state of the patient must be borne in mind; and if the patient is confined to bed, or unable to take any active exercise, probably the "largely meat dietary" (p. 431) will be found most easily digested.

Lupus and other tuberculous lesions of the skin call for nothing special in the dietary, except the importance of getting on to the standard dietary, and maintaining this dietary until the patient's weight becomes stationary at a few pounds in excess of the patient's highest known weight before becoming infected with tuberculosis.
