“This work contains a good deal of excellent advice about wholesome
food, and gives directions for preparing many dishes in a way that
will make luxuries for the palate out of many simple productions of
Nature which are now lost by a vicious cookery.”—_Home Journal._
“Another book on cookery, and one that appears to be fully the
equal in all respects, and superior to many of its predecessors.
Simplicity is sought to be blended with science, economy with all
the enjoyments of the table, and health and happiness with an ample
household liberality. Every purse and every taste will find in Mrs.
Dodds’ book, material within its means of grasp for efficient kitchen
administration.”—_N. Y. Star._
“The book can not fail to be of great value in every household to
those who will intelligently appreciate the author’s stand-point.
And there are but few who will not concede that it would be a public
benefit if our people generally would become better informed as to the
better mode of living than the author intends.”—_Scientific American._
“She evidently knows what she is writing about, and her book is
eminently practical upon every page. It is more than a book of recipes
for making soups, and pies, and cake; it is an educator of how to make
the home the abode of healthful people.”—_The Daily Inter-Ocean_,
Chicago, Ill.
“The book is a good one, and should be given a place in every
well-regulated cuisine.”—_Indianapolis Journal._
“As a comprehensive work on the subject of healthful cookery,
there is no other in print which is superior, and which brings the
subject so clearly and squarely to the understanding of an average
housekeeper.”—_Methodist Recorder._
“In this book Dr. Dodds deals with the whole subject scientifically,
and yet has made her instructions entirely practical. The book
will certainly prove useful, and if its precepts could be
universally followed, without doubt human life would be considerably
lengthened.”—_Springfield Union._
“Here is a cook-book prepared by an educated lady physician. It
seems to be a very sensible addition to the voluminous literature on
this subject, which ordinarily has little reference to the hygienic
character of the preparations which are described.”—_Zion’s Herald._
“This one seems to us to be most sensible and practical, while yet
based upon scientific principles—in short, the best. If it were in
every household, there would be far less misery in the world.”—_South
and West._
“There is much good sense in the book, and there is plenty of occasion
for attacking the ordinary methods of cooking, as well as the common
style of diet.”—_Morning Star._
“She sets forth the why and wherefore of cookery, and devotes the
larger portion of the work to those articles essential to good blood,
strong bodies, and vigorous minds.”—_New Haven Register._
The work will be sent to any address, by mail, post-paid, on receipt of

Healthful and Palatable.
The most important question with all interested and intelligent
housekeepers should be “What can I prepare for my table that will be
HEALTHFUL and PALATABLE?” The world is full of Cook Books and Receipt
Books, but in nearly every case not the slightest attention is given to
the health and strength giving qualities of the dishes described, and
a large part of the directions are useless (for never followed) and in
many cases harmful (if tried).
What is needed is a practical work in which these conditions are
carefully considered and one which is simple enough to be easily
understood.
A recent publication, HEALTH IN THE HOUSEHOLD, by Dr. S. W. Dodd, a
lady physician and a practical housekeeper, covers this ground very
fully and can be recommended. It considers the value of the different
food products, the best methods of preparation, and the reason why.
The Chicago _Inter-Ocean_ says: “She evidently knows what she is
writing about, and her book is eminently practical upon every page. It
is more than a book of recipes for making soups, and pies, and cakes;
it is an educator of how to make the home the abode of healthful
people.”
“She sets forth the why and wherefore of cookery, and
devotes the larger portion of the work to those articles essential to
good blood, strong bodies, and vigorous minds,” says _The New Haven
Register_.
Housekeepers who consult this will be able to provide for the household
that which will positively please and increase the happiness by
increasing the healthful conditions.
It contains 600 large pages, bound in extra cloth or oil cloth binding,
