| Publisher Description: This vintage book contains a comprehensive guide to feeding the sick, first published in 1904. Originally designed for nurses and home-use, this timeless volume contains a wealth of simple recipes and instructions that would be of utility to anyone occupied in the looking after of others. Contents include: "Food and its Relation to the Body", "Estimates of Food Values", "Digestion", "Food and Health vs. Drugs and Disease", "Infant Feeding", "Food for the Sick", "Cookery for the Sick", "Water", "Milk", "Alcohol", "Beverages", "Gruels, Beef Extracts, and Beef Teas", etcetera. Many antiquarian texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. |
