Vegetable Diet: As Sanctioned by Medical Men, and by Experience in All Ages: Including a System of Vegetable Cookery

rice. Three quarts of wheat meal to one pint of good clean rice, boiled till it is soft. RECEIPT 8.--Three parts of wheat meal to one of Indian. RECEIPT 9.--Four parts of wheat to one of Indian. The proportion of the ingredients above may be varied to a great extent. I have inserted some of the best. The following are _irregulars_, but may as well be mentioned here as any where.
