BEEF JUICE
The body derives several benefits
from regular use of beef juice. It apparently could bring about
a strengthening of the body without irritating the cells in the intestinal
tract which might bring about a change in the nature of the lymph
and the lymphatic functioning that might in turn disturb the body,
causing sleeplessness and general irritation. The following
readings are commentaries on it plus descriptions of how to prepare
it.
"The combinations that have been indicated for
the body as to diet are very good; yet we would add the greater strengthening
influence without the addition of weight or of heavy foods - which would
materially aid, and would not irritate those tendencies for the accumulations
or separations in the active forces of mucus that has produced and does
produce in the lymph those segregations and accumulations about which
the body becomes so disturbed at times.
These as we find may be had in the Pure Beef Juice;
not broth, but prepared in this manner:
Take a pound to a pound and a half preferably of
the round steak. No fat, no portions other than that which is of
the muscle or tendon or strength; no fatty or skin portions. Dice
this into half inch cubes, as it were, or practically so. Put same in
a glass jar without water in same. Put the jar then into a boiler
or container with the water coming about half or three-fourths toward
the top of the jar, you see. Preferably put a cloth in the container
to prevent the jar from cracking. Do not seal the jar tight, but
cover the top. Let this boil (the water, with the jar in same) for
three to four hours. Then strain off the juice, and the refuse may
be pressed somewhat. It will be found that the meat or flesh itself
will be worthless. Place the juice in a cool place, but do not keep
too long; never longer than three days, see? Hence the quantity
made up at the time depends upon how much or how often the body will take
this. It should be taken two to three times a day, but not more
than a tablespoonful at the time - and this sipped very slowly.
Of course, this is to be seasoned to suit the taste of the body.
Well, too, that whole wheat or Ry-Krisp crackers
be taken with same to make it more palatable." (1343-2)
"Also once a day it will be most beneficial to
take beef juice as a tonic; not so much the beef itself but beef juice;
followed with red wine. Do not mix these, but take both about the
same time. Take about a teaspoonful of the beef juice, but spend
about five minutes in sipping that much. Then take an ounce of the
red wine, with a whole wheat cracker." (2535-1)
"Q-5. What quantity of beef juice to be taken daily?
A-5. At least two tablespoonsful, but no fat in same. A
tablespoonful is almost equal to a pound of meat or two pounds of meat
a day; and that's right smart for a man that isn't active!"
(1424-2)
"Beef juice should be taken regularly as medicine,
a teaspoonful four times a day at least, but when taken it should be sipped,
not just taken as a gulp." (5374-1)
"As we find, we would use small quantities at a
time - but take almost as medicine - of the beef juices ... This is easily
assimilated, gives strength and vitality, and is needed with the vital
forces of the body in the present. Take at least a tablespoonful
during the day, or two tablespoonsful. But not as spoonsful; rather
sips of same. This, sipped in this manner, will work towards producing
the gastric flow through the intestinal system, first in the salivary
reactions to the very nature of the properties themselves, second with
the gastric flow from the upper portion of the stomach or through the
cardiac reaction at the end of the esophagus that produces the first of
the lacteals' reaction to the gastric flows in the stomach or digestive
forces themselves; thirdly making for an activity through the pylorus
and the duodenum that becomes stimulating to the activity of the flows
without producing the tendencies for accumulation of gases." (1100-10)
Beef juice is not a broth but a juice extracted from
the meat through heat. It is prepared as follows:
Take about one pound of round steak preferably.
Cut off the fat, leaving the muscle and pieces of tendon. Cut this
then into half inch cubes, and put it into a glass jar without water in
it. The jar should be covered but not tightly. Then put the
jar into a pan with water in it, the water coming about one-half or three-fourths
of the way toward the top of the jar. Put a cloth on the bottom
of the pan to prevent the jar from cracking. Let the water then
simmer for three to four hours. Then strain off the juice which
has accumulated in the jar and the remaining meat may be pressed somewhat
to extract the remainder of the juice. The meat will then be worthless.
Place the juice in a refrigerator, but never keep it longer than three
days. The quantity made, then, depends upon how much and how often
the juice is taken. It should be taken two to three times a day,
but not more than a tablespoon at the time - and this should be sipped
very slowly taking perhaps five or ten minutes to use the whole amount.
It may be seasoned to suit the taste of the individual.
It would be well also to use a whole wheat or Ry-Krisp cracker at the
same time to make it more palatable. (See 1343-2 above.)
