increased every day until ten tablespoonfuls are given at a feeding.


BARLEY WATER.

2 tbsps. pearl barley.
1 pt. boiling water.

Wash the barley carefully. Pour over it the boiling water. Let it
simmer for two hours. Strain and sweeten with a pinch of sugar of
milk.


MILK-SUGAR WATER.

1/2 oz. sugar of milk.
1/2 pt. boiling water.

Dissolve, and keep closely covered. It will not keep long, so should
be made when required to use.


LIME WATER.

Take a lump of lime weighing about one ounce. Put in a bottle with a
quart of cold water (which has been boiled). Shake the bottle well
until the lime is dissolved, and let it stand for 12 hours. Pour the
clear liquid into another bottle, being careful not to disturb the
sediment. Keep carefully corked. Water will only absorb a certain
quantity of lime, so there is no danger of its being too strong.
