Healthfulness of Hard-Boiled Eggs in Dyspepsia
"We have seen dyspeptics who have suffered untold torments with almost every kind of food. No liquid could be taken without suffering. Bread became a burning acid. Meat and milk were solid and liquid fires. We have seen those same sufferers trying to avoid food and drink, and even going to the enema syringe for sustenance. And we have seen their torments pass away, and their hunger relieved by living upon the white of eggs which had been boiled in bubbling water for 30 minutes. At the end of a week we have given the hard yolk of the egg with the white, and upon this diet alone without fluid of any kind we have seen them begin to gain flesh and strength and refreshing sleep. After weeks of this treatment they have been able with care to begin upon other food. And all this, " the writer adds, "without taking medicine. " He says that hard-boiled eggs are not so bad as half-boiled ones, and ten times, as easy to digest as raw eggs, even in egg-nog.
