EGG-NOGG. The white of an egg beaten to a stiff froth ; a teaspoon of sugar beaten in ; then the yolk of the egg, and finally a tablespoon each of milk, water and wine. PANADA. Six Boston crackers, split, two tablespoons white sugar, a good pinch of salt, and a little nutmeg, enough boiling water to cover them well; split the crackers, and pile in a bowl in layers, salt and sugar scattered among them ; cover with boiling water and set on the hearth, with a close top over the bowl, for at least one hour. The crackers should be almost clear and soft as jelly, but not broken. Eat from the bowl, with more sugar sprin- kled in if you wish it. If properly made, this panada is very nice. PORTEREE. Pint bottle of porter, two glasses pale sherry, one lemon peeled and sliced, half pint of ice-water, six or eight lumps loaf sugar, half of a grated nutmeg, pounded ice. This mixture has been used satisfactorily by invalids, for whom the pure porter was too heavy, causing biliousness and heartburn. SOFT BOILED EGGS. Fresh eggs for invalids, who like them cooked soft, should be put in a pan of boiling water, and set on a part of the range where they will not boil for several minutes. At the end of that time they will be like jelly, oe.rfectly soft, but beautifully done, and quite digestible by even weak stomachs. FOOD FOR THE SICK. 173 SOFT TOAST. Toast well, but not too brown, a couple of thin slices of bread; put them on a warm plate and pour over boiling water; cover quickly with another plate of the same size, and drain the water off; remove the upper plate, butter the toast, put it in the oven one minute, and then cover again with a hot plate and serve at once. THICKENED MILK. With a little milk, mix smooth a tablespoon of flour and a pinch of salt. Pour upon it a quart of boiling milk, and when it is thoroughly amalgamated put all back into the saucepan, and boil up once, being careful not to burn, and stirring all the time, to keep it perfectly smooth and free from lumps. Serve with slices of dry toast. It is excellent for diarrhoea, and becomes a specific by scorching the flour before mixing with the milk. CHICKEN JELLY. Half a raw chicken, pounded with a mallet, bones and meat together, plenty of cold water to cover it well, about a quart. Heat slowly in a covered vessel, and let it simmer until the meat is in white rags and the liquid reduced one-half. Strain and press, first through a colander, then through a coarse cloth. Salt to taste, and pepper if you think best; return to the fire, and simmer five minutes longer. Skim when cool. Give to the patient cold — just from the ice — with unleavened wafers. Keep on the ice. You can make into sandwiches by putting the jelly between thin slices of bread spread lightly with butter. INDIAN MEAL GRUEL. One tablespoon of fine
