Orange-juice or raw carrot-juice may be used if preferred. When extra
nourishment is desired a well-beaten raw egg may be mixed with the
dressing. Fresh cream may also be used as dressing.
Fruit is best taken at the evening meal, from 1-1/2 to 2 lbs. Nothing
should be taken with it except a little nut-cream or fresh cream and white
of egg.
Distilled water is a great asset to the unfired feeder, because it softens
dried fruits so much better than hard water. It can be manufactured at
home, or the "Still Salutaris" bought through a chemist or grocer. The
"Still Salutaris" water is about 1/3 per gallon jar. If the water is
distilled at home, a "Gem" Still will be needed. (The Gem Supplies Co.,
Ltd., 67, Southwark Street, London S.E.). It is best to use this over a
gas ring or "Primus" oil stove. The cost of the water comes out at about
one penny per gallon, according to the cost of the fuel used.
Distilled Water should never be put into metal saucepans or kettles, as it
is a very powerful solvent. A small enamelled kettle or saucepan should be
used for heating it, and it should be stored in glass or earthenware
vessels only. It should not be kept for more than a month, and should
always be kept carefully covered.
For salads it is not necessary to depend entirely upon the usual salad
vegetables, such as lettuce, endive, watercress, mustard and cress. The
very finely shredded hearts of raw Brussel sprouts are excellent, and even
the heart of a Savoy cabbage.
