This is at once food and medicine. Some people have very great faith
in its efficacy in cases of chronic dysentery. It is made thus: Boil
a pint of new milk; beat four new-laid eggs to a light froth, and pour
in while the milk boils; stir them together thoroughly, but do not
let them boil; sweeten it with the best of loaf sugar, and grate in
a whole nutmeg; add a little salt, if you like it. Drink half of it
while it is warm, and the other half in two hours.
