Medical and Health Books
By L. A. HANSEN
A LITTLE cookbook that is greatly appreciated by those having it is “Food and Cookery,” by H. S. Anderson. It is a handbook for teachers and pupils for use in cooking classes and demonstrations. The 128 pages are devoted to the most essentials of healthful cookery, containing clear statements of fundamental principles, with several food charts and a number of recipes not found elsewhere. The author has had many years of experience in practical cooking in leading hotels and clubs and for the past five years has been connected with the Loma Linda Sanitarium. He is deeply interested in presenting the subject of healthful cookery in its true bearings, and his efforts are to be greatly appreciated. “Food and Cookery” is now in its third edition. It has been well received. With it is given a twenty-four-page supplement, “Food Facts,” which gives valuable quotations from the Bible, Testimonies, and scientific works. This is given free with the cookbook. Price, postpaid, 35 cents. Order of Review and Herald Publishing Association, or The College Press, Loma Linda, Cal. We have had many calls for a work on medical electricity, suited to our nurses. We are glad to call attention to “Medical Electricity, for Medical Students and Nurses,” by G. K. Abbott, M. D., professor of clinical medicine, College of Medical Evangelists, Loma Linda, Cal. This work contains 132 pages. It is written in such simplified terms as to make it serviceable for first instruction and yet complete enough to cover the main fundamental principles of therapeutic application of electricity. The text is elementary and thoroughly practical throughout. Considerable attention is given to various electric appliances, and detailed instruction is given on how to use them. A short list of review questions appear at the end of each chapter. We believe the book would be appreciated by our training schools and by graduate nurses. Price, $1.25. Order of W. B. Saunders Company, West Washington Square, Philadelphia, Pa. “State Registration for Nurses,” by Boyd, gives full information about registration requirements, fees, exemptions and restrictions, violations, revocation, reciprocity, compulsory laws, recording certificates, with full text of State laws on the subject. Price, $1.25. W. B. Saunders Company, Philadelphia, Pa.
