Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Food for the Invalid: The Convalescent; The Dyspeptic; And the Gouty
In the present transition state of our information about food in relation to the needs of the body, it is necessary to select from our extant cookery-books what is required, so far as is possible. That is no easy task to essay: but a beginning must be made, and errors and omissions may be corrected and amended in future editions, and perhaps by other writers. It is impossible to appraise correctly and with any approach to accuracy the amount of information possessed by each reader; SO it appears that the most prudent course is to write as if the subject were new to all: if in so doing any umbrage is given to those who do know something about food, an apology is tendered to them at the outset.
