Excerpt from Eating for Strength: Or Food and Diet in Their Relation to Health and Work, Together With Several Hundred Recipes for Wholesome Foods and Drinks These tables have been especially prepared for this work and are full of interest as well as being of practical value. An other interesting feature of the work relates to the cost of the different articles usually consumed, as for instance the cost of proteids, fats and carbo-hydrates in oatmeal, beef, mutton, corn, eggs, butter, cheese, beer, etc., etc. These tables are so arranged as to show at once which are the most economical articles for the table and which the most expensive, and will be of great value to all who would choose their food wisely, and also for those who desire to reduce the cost of living to a minimum and yet nourish themselves perfectly. The chapter on the use of the apple as a means of preserv ing health and the one on the grape cure will, the author believes, meet a need long felt, as will also what has been said concerning the importance of the thorough mastication of our food. The subject of drinks has also been treated fully, and a very large number of recipes for wholesome ones given. What has been said on this subject cannot fail to prove helpful to those who are in doubt on many points. The directions for feeding young and delicate children have in practice proved most satisfactory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
