Indeed, I have left nothing undone in my endeavor to have the book all the publishers claim for it, and each recipe, suggestion, and recommendation, has been selected with most scrupulous care; many of them from the very best authority on the different subjects through a period of many years to the present time. In every instance I have earnestly endeavored to be as honest and sincere as it is possible to be, and believe that a test will convince all that I had the best interest of my fellowman at heart throughout the entire publication, and pray that in putting this little work before the public that it may he aecepted in the same spirit in which it is written.
