WHAT
TO DRINK
the
islands
which
lie
in
the
Atlantic
off
the
state
of
South
Carolina.
This
is
large
full
rice
and
is
by
far
the
most
desirable
for
use
for
invalids
and
children.
Wash
the
rice in
cold
water,
rubbing
it
well
between
the
hands.
Allow
water
to
run
over
it
until
the
water
runs
clear.
Throw
the
washed
rice
in
a
quart
of
cold
water,
and
cook
rapidly
until
it
boils
hard.
Then
cook
slower
over
a
lower
fire
until
rather
mushy.
Two
hours
is
not
too
long
for
the
boiling.
Strain
through
a
fine
sieve.
Add
a
little
salt,
or
if
the
patient
greatly
prefers,
and
sugar
will
not
harm,
sweeten
slightly.
This
is
used
in
cases
of
dysentery
with
salt
only,
as
a
drink.
RICE
MILK
i
ounce
of
rice
(Sea
Island),
i
pint

in
the
foregoing
recipe,
and
put
into
a
saucepan
with
the
milk.
Boil
for
one
hour.
Add
salt
to
taste
or
a
very
little
sugar.
The
salt
is
preferable.
Do

strain
this.
TOAST
WATER
i
full
sized
crust
of
bread,
i
pint
of water.
Select
the
crust
of
the
bread,
cut
at
least
an
inch
thick;
toast
or
dry
it
until
brown
in
the
oven,
being
sure
that
it
does
not
burn
or
scorch,
but
is
thoroughly
brown.
Put
this
in
a
deep
bowl
and
pour
one
pint
of
cold
water
over
it,
allowing
it
to
stand
for
one
