Feeding the Invalid in the Daunti Style
Advice for nurses on nourishing the sick emphasizes dainty, timed servings and small portions. Do not overfill plates, vary foods, avoid relying on beef tea, and maintain spotless service while keeping the patient comfortable and well positioned to eat.
Right Way to Make Tea
Tea should not be boiled as flavor is ruined and bitterness raised. Warm a china or agate lined pot by resting on the back of the stove or scald with fresh boiling water and add leaves at once. Steep briefly, then fill with water at boiling point and serve immediately.
