 MISS FARMER'S NEW BOOK

Food & Cookery for the Sick and Convalescent

FANNIE MERRITT FARMER

Principal of Miss Farmer's Cooking School, and author of "The Boston Cooking School Cook Book," and "Chafing-Dish Possibilities."

WITH SIXTY ILLUSTRATIONS IN HALF-TONE

A work of exceptional interest and importance is the new book, "Food and Cookery for the Sick and Convalescent," by Fannie Merritt Farmer, the author of "The Boston Cooking School Cook Book," etc. It is designed to meet the needs of the trained nurse, the mother, or of any one having care of the sick. The work is the result of years of study along the lines of food and feeding, and contains much scientific knowledge simply given.

The opening chapters are invaluable to those whose duty it is to care for the sick, and of equal importance to those who see in correct feeding the way of preventing much of the illness about us. The chapter on Infant Feeding is an authoritative guide to aid in the development of the baby, and child feeding is considered with like care.

The hundreds of recipes, many of which have their caloric value given, are for the most part individual, thus requiring but a minimum of time for their preparation. Suggestions as to diet in various diseases have not been overlooked. Sixty full-page half-tone illustrations add to the utility and beauty of the book.
