Book Description
Excerpt from Half-Yearly Abstract of the Medical Sciences, Vol. 41 But a period comes when milk is no longer the diet Of children, and when custom, originating, as we have seen, in Nature's prompt ings, has determined the necessity Of three meals in the day. The infant demands more than three meals, and makes no distinction between the day and the night. The day Of the infant is a day of twenty-four hours; the day of childhood, as Of the remainder of life, has a duration Of twelve to sixteen hours. The three meals at present under consideration are the morning meal, the mid-day meal, the evening meal. These meals represent the wants Of the body arising during the intervening interval. The morning meal is intended to supply the moderate waste of the night, the mid-day meal the active waste of the morning, the evening meal the active waste of the afternoon. The amount Of the three periods Of waste is pretty equal; the amount Of the supply should be equivalent to that of the waste.
