In the morning peel off from the surface and throw away the thin rind of dough, and with a nutmeg-grater* grate down the hard dry mass into a powder.

الصفحة 114 - The inside of ROASTED POTATOES, perfectly done and mealy, prepared to suit the taste, say with butter, milk, or cream, and salt, will often prove good food if no contraindication exist. As a general rule, all fruit and vegetables have a laxative tendency ; but exceptions may occur ; and a mealy roasted potato is as little objectionable as anything of the kind.

الصفحة 228 - Many divergencies from these rules will be met with, as children may be born with one or more of their teeth already cut, or the teeth may appear earlier than usual, or out of the usual order. In some families the upper incisors always appear before the lower, or one of the molars or the canine teeth precede the incisors; but these irregularities are of no importance. Delayed appearance of the teeth is, however, of greater moment for it generally indicates some fault in nutrition.
الصفحة 123 - Desiccated meat*, ie, with the moisture completely evaporated, may be sometimes utilized, being easily grated, and containing in this state a large proportion of absolutely nutritious matter.
