The White Diet.
Take Milk 2 quarts; the Breast of a Capon boiled, Sweet Almonds blanch'd and well pounded 2 ounces; beat and mash all in a Marble Mortar, strain and wring it out hard; to this add Rice Meal sifted 3 ounces, boil it, and when it begins to grow thick, add white Sugar half a pound, (perhaps that may be something too much, the Palate is the best Judge of the quantity) red Rose Water 5 ounces; boil it with a moderate Fire. This is a Restorative in a Consumption, and also in a Gonorrhea and Tabes Dorsalis.
