Calories per penny, 336. Total calorie value, 3889. * True cost, allowing 10 per cent, for waste in cooking as explained = 11 ’57d. This dietary has a thoroughly adequate nutritive value for the treatment of tuberculosis. With a daily value of proteid, 154 grammes and 3889 calories, it is especially suitable for consumptives who are convalescent and doing a certain amount of muscular work. It is very palatable, easily digested, and allows of a considerable variety being made in the menu day by day. It is very cheap, considering the amount of nourishment which it contains, costing only 11 \d. per day. It is very economically constructed, every penny spent upon it buying 32 grammes of proteid and 336 calories. Harrison and Sons, Printers in Ordinary to His Majesty, St. Martin’s lane.
