Memo, exemptions to the ration on medical grounds Gives the committee's recommendations about which groups may be exempt from the ration scheme. Suggests that no disease requires exemption from war bread -- that extra meat may be allowed for patients with 'tubercle' and diabetes -- glucose for those with difficulty swallowing -- extra milk rations for pregnant women, tuberculosis patients, those with digestive ulcers, malnutrition etc -- extra fat allowance for diabetics and tubercolosis patients. 31 January 1918
