DODDS, M.D. This work is divided into three parts; the first part, giving the “=Reason Why=,” is published separately as above. PART SECOND contains the “=Hygienic Dietary=.” Here we have directions for the preparation of food, recipes for cooking, etc., in what the author considers a strictly healthful manner; including breads of all kinds, the preservation of fruits, vegetables, etc. PART THIRD is what the author calls “=The Compromise=,” containing directions for preparing food, not strictly in accordance with the Hygienic way, but in such a manner as to render it more plain and healthful than it is ordinarily found; and it will prove helpful and suggestive to many who find it difficult, on account of surrounding circumstances, to adopt the more strict Hygienic cookery. Complete in one large volume, 600 pages, extra cloth or oil-cloth binding, price by mail, post-paid, $2.00. Agents wanted, to whom special terms will be given.
