“The use of raw meat in the treatment of debility and consumption [primarily tuberculosis] is in the ascendant in France: but that it may be served in a style the least objectionable to the patient’s delicate sensibilities, it is prepared under the name of musculine tablets, and is made of raw fillets of beef covered with fruit jelly and candied sugar.”
