Excerpt from Cookery for Invalids: Persons of Delicate Digestion, and for Children
The great importance of well-chosen and well-cooked food, as a means not only of preserving but of restoring health, is now fully recognised, and "Dr Diet and Kitchen Physic" are acknowledged as the best friends of the medical profession. Yet there is no more anxious time for a doctor than when he hands over his patient to the good offices of the cook, for, as a celebrated culinary writer has said, "he knows how often the skill of the painstaking physician is counteracted by the want of corresponding attention to the preparation of food, and the poor patient, instead of deriving nourishment, is distressed by indigestion."
