Physicians in the tropics recommend in all cases of yellow fever, an absolute fast, no matter whether the patient is robust, or slender and frail.

If vomiting occurs, and continues for any length of time, rectal feeding must be resorted to, but this is frequently quite as irritating as food administered by mouth. Solid foods must be forbidden until the patient is far on the road to convalescence. The physician alone knows when and how to arrange suitable convalescing diet. If the patient is in any civilized country, where predigested foods can be obtained, these should be the first to follow the fast. Avoid, however, all meat preparations in hot climates, no matter whether they are predigested or not, and sugar.
