Essentials to Health

The first essential to health is good, appetizing food, properly prepared. “Food and Cookery,” a very practical health cookbook, classifies the requisite foods according to their constituent elements, and their nutritive values, and gives definite instructions in their proper combinations and general preparation. With this handy and thoroughly tested little cookbook, and its “Food Facts” supplement, any cook may have in her home all the advantages of the presence of a scientific cooking instructor. The book is in every way practical, and contains a large number of carefully tested recipes, grouped under subjects and arranged for the convenience of the one charged with the important work of keeping the family well through the serving of the right kind of food, properly prepared.

Its 127 pages are filled with scientific facts about foods and their preparation, stated in such a simple, practical way as to be easily understood and applied. The book is hand-sewed, and bound in durable, flexible cloth covers, with a separate pamphlet of 24 pages on healthful living and practical dietetics. It is just the book for every cook to study, the one thing needful in every home to insure health and happiness. A prominent physician recently said his most common prescription in cases of ordinary sickness was “a change of cook.” The cook will invariably change after studying and applying the suggestions of “Food and Cookery,” but will not go away. This book with the Food Facts supplement will be given with Life and Health, one year, for $1.10. Regular price of the book is 35 cents.
