Excerpt from The Journal of Home Economics, Vol. 9 of 12 It is well known that protein food should not be given. In health. In amounts larger than are necessary to build up or maintain body tissue. Similar conclusions are now drawn in the case of typhoid, although more protein is broken down per day. The above experiments indicated that from 60 to 90 grams of protein per day were found to give the best results. The fat needs Of the patient vary with the stage of the disease and with the individual. Most patients can take more fat during the third and fourth weeks of the febrile period, and during convalescence, than they can earlier in the disease. Frequently one half of the total fuel value Of the food can be given in the form of fat. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
