    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the bill-of-fare of Jefferson Davis, a statesman in the U.S. It states that the uproar about Davis's health has led to the publication by the newspaper "New York Times" of his bill-of-fare at breakfast and dinners for one week, in order to show that his diet has had nothing to do with the decline of his health. The document, which the correspondent of the newspaper calls by the impressive name of a "schedule of meals," certainly proves that whatever the cause of Davis's weakness may be, it is not want of food.
