We therefore seek to provide a diet that will not overburden the eliminative organs. In acute cases, a milk or .milk and cereal water diet is indicated. As the symptoms subside, other bland foods may be constantly added. In chronic cases, the following list of foods may be useful: Milk soups Milk gruels Buttermilk Yogurt Cream Malted milk Butter Olive oil Flakes Tapioca Junket Macaroni Stale bread Toast Crackers All cereals well cooked, except oats Potato Onion Cauliflower Lettuce Spinach Celery Water cress Vegetable gelatin DIET IN ANAEMIA (Secondary) Anaemia may follow any prolonged illness, or hemorrhage, and may be present in many of the chronic diseases. In the ordinary case of secondary anjemia, the blood is deficient in corpuscles, coloring matter, and other constituents. Because of the poor blood supplied, the digestive juices are weak and scant. Constipation often complicates, and should receive prompt attention, as the re- moval of waste products is especially important. Plenty of fresh air, sunshine, and sleep are very essential factors. The following is a list of foods that are rich in mineral and blood-building elements. The foods given are especially rich in iron, and are arranged in order, beginning with those highest in this mineral.
