In this disease, the intestines need rest. Give stomach digested foods with a minimum of light starchy gruels; beef juice, albumin and water, dried albumin in broth, modified milk without milk sugar, German flour gruel, arrowroot gruel, weak tea, cocoa shells and cocoa nibs, with very little milk; blackberry cordial. Do not give whole milk. As the intestines begin to recover, add to the diet broiled white meat of chicken, broiled fish, soft-cooked eggs, broiled sweetbread. Give six ground almonds once a day, after a meat meal.
