Excerpt from Emergency Diet for the Sick in the Military Service The following recipes are planned to include such simple, digestible, appetizing, and readily prepared articles of diet, especially adapted to the needs of the sick, as may be made from the components of the several rations used in the field or on detached service, the foods included in the hospital stores and a few special articles selected for their nutritive value, ease of preparation, palatability and probable availability under ordinary circumstances. While the number of articles of diet which can be made from these food-stuffs might be considerably augmented, it is believed that the selection made herein is sufficiently ample to meet the requirements of any emergency. Many food materials having a known value in the nourishment of the sick are not included in this list; not because their utility is unrecognized or underestimated, but through the fact that their special characteristics and the conditions of campaign or field service are such that they would probably be unattainable at the time when most to be desired.
