    White Wine Whey. Add two ounces of sherry to half a pint of pure new milk, which has been heated to boiling- point. Bring the milk again to the boil for a moment. The mixture curdles, and the whey is separated by straining through muslin. The infant may be given up to half an ounce of the whey at a time. Lime Water. Add a lump of unslaked lime to a pint of water. Mix it thoroughly, and then allow the mixture to stand for a couple of hours. As soon as the excess of lime has fallen to the bottom of the vessel, pour, or syphon off, the clear fluid.
