Panada. — Cut two slices of stale bread, without crust. Toast them brown, cut them up into squares about two inches across, lay them in a bowl, and sprinkle with salt and a little nutmeg. Pour on a pint of boil- ing water, and let it stand to cool. Vegetable Soup. — This may be made, of course, in many different ways. The following is about the simplest ; put two potatoes, a handful of peas, one ripe tomato, and a piece of bread, into a quart of water, and boil it down to a pint. Then throw in a little chopped celery or parsley, and salt. Cover, and remove from the fire. A delicate stomach may require it to be strained for use. Boiled Flour. — Tie up a quart of wheat flour in a pudding-bag, tightly. Put it into a pot of boiling water, and keep this boiling for several hours (all day or all night will not be too long) . Then take out the flour and dry it near the fire. Peel off and throw away the thin outer portion, and grate down the mass, with a nutmeg-grater, into a powder, for use as wanted. One or two teaspoonfuls of this may be rubbed into a paste with a little milk, and then stirred into a pint of milk, which is to be scalded ; that is, just brought to the boiling-point, without being boiled. This is often beneficial in the diarrhoeas of infants or older persons. Arrow-Root. — Mix a tablespoonful or rather more with a little cold water, till it becomes smooth and pasty. Boil a pint of water, stir in the arrow -root, and boil it for a few minutes, until it thickens sufficiently. Sweeten to taste with white sugar, unless salt be preferred. A little lemon-peel or orange- peel added before boiling will improve the flavor. 535 72 THE FAMIL Y DOCTOR Tapioca. — Cover two tablespoonfuls of tapioca with a full teacupful of cold water , and let it soak for several hours.
