58. Pap, of Boiled Flour—For Diarrhea of Children. —
Tie 1 cup of flour closely in a cloth, and boil 5 hours; when cool grate off a table-spoonful of it, and mix smoothly in a little cold milk; then stir this mixture into 1 pt. of boiling milk, and boil a few minutes, and sweeten with loaf sugar, and add a little nutmeg, if desired. Very valuable in diarrhea of children or adults.
59. Wine Jelly. —In place? where none of the common fruit jellies are obtainable, the following will make an excellent substitute: Boil white sugar, % lb., in 1 gill of water. Have dissolved isinglass, 1 oz., in a little water, and strain into the syrup; and when nearly cold add % pt. of wine; mix well in a bowl or suitable dish; cover. For convalescents or those getting up from exhausting diseases, this will be found as nutritious as it is palatable. If too thick at any time, add a little milk or water, as preferred, or convenient.
