For Liver Disease
In general, fatty substances should be eliminated as much as possible from the
nourishment in the case of liver disease, jaundice and gall stones.
To be recommended are light farinaceous dishes with milk, vegetables, fruit and all
easily digestible foods.
Meat must be taken only in very small quantities, according to the advice of the
physician, and with very little fat. Spices and alcohol are prohibited. Pastry and rich
foods must be avoided.
In case of jaundice the patient should receive liquid food only during the first few
days, consisting of soups, light tea, carbonated waters; later, milk, the yolks of
eggs, zwieback and light milk dishes.
Patients suffering from gall stones may receive the same diet as prescribed for
those suffering from liver disease, generally speaking.
In case of liver disease it is necessary to adhere very strictly to the prescriptions of
the physician, since they are due to various reasons, and only the physician can
give the proper individual directions, after having determined the cause.
Every morning on rising, a glass of unsweetened lemonade, or a wineglass of
currant wine or grape juice, or some acid fruit.—The same on retiring at night.
For a second breakfast, four or six radishes, or a tablespoonful of grated radish, or a
teaspoonful of horseradish mixed with broth and white bread, eaten with a little
toast and butter.—The same for supper.
The following are a few suggestions for dinner without meat:
Cabbage, potato porridge, gooseberries with egg and milk sauce.—Lentils with
potatoes and fresh greens, cresses or lettuce, fruit.—Savoy cabbage with rice and
tomato sauce, fruit with millet cakes.—Leeks with potatoes, macaroni and
plums.—Young green beans with dried white beans and apples or other fruit, beets
with cream, rolled dumplings, fruits.—White cabbage with macaroni, chopped
apples or curdled milk.

VI. DEGENERATION OF THE MUCOUS MEMBRANE TISSUE.
Catarrh in acute and chronic forms, bronchitis, pleurisy, pneumonia,
inflammation of nose, throat, bowels, stomach, bladder.
Decomposition of mucous membrane, hemorrhoids, polyps, benign tumors,
also Bright's disease in initial stages.
Catarrhal disease is amongst the most common, in varied form and degree, owing
to the very tender nature of the mucous membrane.
These ailments are characterized as destructions of the protective membranes
which cover the serous layer of the organs, in which layer the lymph circulates.
The numerous ends of blood-vessels and nerves which are thus exposed to attack,
and the spreading of the disease to healthy tissues which thus become affected in
the same way, make the various catarrhal troubles with their accompanying
excretions particularly unpleasant.
All degenerations of the mucous membrane are based on deficiencies in blood
circulation and composition.
A cure is effected through the restoration of the serous layer to normal conditions
and the regeneration of the blood and its circulation.
These various forms of catarrh affect all parts that are covered with mucous
membranes, among them the female sexual organs, hence leukorrhoea or fluor
albus, which, if not properly treated, constitutes the basis for all sorts of polyps,
tumors, etc., and in many cases of continued attack forms the predisposition to
cancer.
