Patients. —Brown the rice carefully, as you would the coffee bean, or corn, above; then grind, or mash in a mortar, and to 1 cup of this pour on 1 qt. of boiling water, let it stand 15 minutes; strain if it does n»t pour off clear. Sweeten all these coffees with loaf or granulated sugar, and use boiled milk with them, as freely as relished. It may be drank as freely as the stomach will bear. Children are very fond of it; and it is better for them, or for weakly persons, than common coffee. The same holds good, also, of the corn preparations above.
