Then their bill of fare would contain little else than underdone beef or mutton, stale bread, a very stingy allowance of potatoes, and none at all of any other vegetables; sometimes tea, never any other drink but water, two for dinner, and one for supper, and not even this much, if they could possibly do without it, and with nothing at all between meals...

As regards food, Dr. Sargent said he would give a man to eat what his natural appetite craved, but the kind of food depended on what he had to do. Beef and mutton were the foundation of the diet, and oat meal, graham bread, cracked wheat and vegetables were all good, but pastry, condiments and made dishes should never be used. He believed in letting a man drink all the cold water a systematic thirst required, and that if it was really necessary...
