1/4 pound of lean beef put twice through a meat chopper

1/4 pound of marrow from the leg or shin bone of an ox

Chop the marrow with a silver knife and remove the fibre. Mix the beef and marrow thoroughly, a half salt-spoonful of salt and stand at once in a cold place.

In cases of pernicious anaemia, induce the patient, if possible, to eat this whole amount in two or three feedings.

Serve with it whole wheat bread or some easily-digested, simply-cooked green vegetable, or a sliced orange, or a few white grapes, or make it into sandwiches.
