=BACKWOODS SURGERY AND MEDICINE. By Charles S. Moody, M.D.= A handy
book for the prudent lover of the woods who doesn't expect to be ill
but believes in being on the safe side. Common-sense methods for the
treatment of the ordinary wounds and accidents are described--setting
a broken limb, reducing a dislocation, caring for burns, cuts, etc.
Practical remedies for camp diseases are recommended, as well as the
ordinary indications of the most probable ailments. Includes a list of
the necessary medical and surgical supplies.
_The manager of a mine in Nome, Alaska, writes as follows: "I
have been on the trail for years (twelve in the Klondike and
Alaska) and have always wanted just such a book as Dr. Moody's
Backwoods Surgery and Medicine."_
=CAMP COOKERY. By Horace Kephart.= "The less a man carries in his
pack, the more he must carry in his head," says Mr. Kephart. This book
tells what a man should carry in both pack and head. Every step is
traced--the selection of provisions and utensils, with the kind and
quantity of each, the preparation of game, the building of fires the
cooking of every conceivable kind of food that the camp outfit or
woods, fields, or streams may provide--even to the making of desserts.
Every receipt is the result of hard practice and long experience.
Every recipe has been carefully tested. It is the book for the man who
wants to dine well and wholesomely, but in true wilderness fashion
without reliance on grocery stores or elaborate camp outfits. It is
adapted equally well to the trips of every length and to all
conditions of climate, season or country; the best possible companion
for one who wants to travel light and live well. The chapter headings
tell their own story. Provisions--Utensils--Fires--Dressing and
Keeping Game and Fish--Meat--Game--Fish and Shell Fish--Cured Meats,
etc.--Eggs--Bread-stuffs and Cereals--Vegetables--Soups--Beverages and
Desserts.

as the camper from Camp Cookery._"--_Portland Oregonian._

Kephart's book is to be relied on. I had to stop reading his

published._"--_Grand Rapids Herald._
