Excerpt from Mrs. Rorer's Diet for the Sick: Dietetic Treating of Diseases of the Body, What to Eat and What to Avoid in Each Case, Menus and the Proper Selection and Preparation of Recipes, Together With a Physicians Ready Reference List
This book has been written especially for the Sick. The foods here recommended for Special diseases are not suited to the well. A person in perfect health must Simply repair the tissues of the body with proper foods, every twenty four hours; but when ill, the first Object is to regain health, with a special diet suited to the disease. Simple, easily digested foods recommended for the sick are not necessarily good for even children or invalids; in fact, foods for the well and foods for the sick are not interchangeable.
My sole desire in writing this book has been to assist those persons who must care for their sick at home, and the doctor and the nurse, without trespassing on the domain of either. In disease each case requires special attention, and the knowledge that comes from Observation cannot be, sup planted by any dictated rules. Book directions are valueless unless modified by common sense.
