Health Notes.

Anaemia.

The discovery of the liver diet for anaemia was made many years ago, and is now a well-established method for combatting the disease.

Here are some recipes which are quite palatable and may even tempt the jaded appetite.

Stuffed Eggs.

Take one hard-cooked egg, cut lengthwise and remove yolk. Mix yolk with cooked minced liver. Add seasoning and moisten with dressing or gravy. Fill the whites with this mixture and serve on lettuce leaves. Garnish with tomato slices.

Liver Stuffed in Tomatoes.

Stuff sieved or finely chopped liver (cooked) which has been moistened with tomato juice or broth in tomato, and bake. Onion may be added to the chopped liver for flavour. Carrots and onions can be stuffed in the same way.

Liver Aspic.

Steam liver in chicken broth until soft, cut liver or push through sieve, season with salt and a very little sugar. Use a tablespoon of gelatine to a quart of chicken broth. Add liver to this. Set in moulds.

Tomato broth may be substituted for the chicken broth.

Garnish with parsley and white of egg and serve on lettuce leaves.

Shepherd's Pie.

Mince 8 oz. cooked liver, season with salt and pepper, little celery salt, and pinch of sugar. Moisten with gravy and place in small baking dish, cover with mashed potatoes and brown in oven.

Stew.

Take 8 oz. liver chopped in small pieces, and a little water sufficient to cook the liver and prevent burning. Season and moisten with a little gravy, add cooked carrots, onions and other vegetable if desired.
