The success of the previous editions of this book, and its recommendation by the medical profession, has induced the authors to give to the public in this new edition the benefit of their extended experience fifty new recipes having been added, and the Old ones carefully revised. For those who cannot take sugar, and do not like saccharine, there are several entirely new recipes for sweet dishes in which neither is used and yet they are sweet enough for any ordinary palate. There are recipes also for several beverages, amongst which will be found directions for making a Nut drink, which is a stimulant, and a good substitute for tea and coffee. As very few people can take their food without salt, it has been considered advisable to add it to the recipes in this edition, no particular quantity being specified, this being left to the discretion Of the patient it must, however, be borne in mind that a little salt is better than much. The authors wish to thank Mrs. Emily Green for her care and patience in testing many of their recipes, and for helping them to make many very troublesome experiments.
