Dr. West, Consulting Physician to the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, in a letter to the author advises as follows for a child about eighteen months old: Three meals, and one supplement of beef-tea or milk and a biscuit, either between breakfast and dinner, or just before bedtime if the child takes little at its last meal. Whether meat once or twice a day must depend on whether appetite is good. I should say that two ounces of cooked meat daily would be sufficient up to two and a half years. An egg is hardly an adequate substitute for the meat. If given for dinner it is best French fashion, a poached egg, in beef tea or soup, or else followed by maccaroni and gravy, or suet pudding made as follows: equal parts of suet, bread crumbs, and flour, mixed with milk (no egg), boiled thoroughly, but not tied up tight.

In the form of soup: the various vegetable soups with vegetables strained out, or purees of carrot, potato, or turnip. Bread sauce is good and popular with children. Roast apple, stewed pear, or apple out of a tart are good, if there is no disposition to either flatulence or diarrhoea. Grapes and oranges quite ripe, or still better, orange juice, are all suitable. I don't know that there is anything else to observe." the general management of infants.
