A hot "health drink," sold at con-fectionaries and drug stores. Take 3 pounds lean beef. 3 large heads celery.
3 quarts cold water.
4 whites of eggs. 2 teaspoons salt
J teaspoon cayenne.
Chop the beef until it is like sausage meat, and chop the celery including the roots, the came way. Mix them with the cold water and set at the side of the range to heat up gradually, then let boil about an hour, add the salt and pepper. Then strain the liquor (bouillon) through a seive or napkin held over a bowl. Take off every particle of grease. Add the white of eggs and beat them in; boil again and strain three or four times over. Add a spoonfull of burnt sugar to give a brown color. When cold add the whites of two more eggs to make a slight foam on the hot drink.
To use, take a third of a glass of the preparation and fil up with boiling water poured in from a height. There are hot water fountains that discharge into the glass with force like soda.
