PUBLISHERS' PREFACE TO THE REVISED

EDITION.
_______

Nearly every one in the land has heard of Dr. Chase's Book
of Recipes. It is almost as standard as the Dictionary, and an
indispensable possession of every well governed household, kept
in a convenient place for ready reference. As it embraces al-
most everything in the way of useful information and is written
in plain language and systematically arranged, it has become
the most highly valued, book designed for general use. Young
and old consult it, and rich and poor, educated and uneducated
persons of all vocations and walks in life make almost daily
use of it for various purposes.

On the farm this book is an authority, and from Maine to
California and from Oregon to Florida it is quoted and its direc-
tions followed. So true is its information and so wide is its
scope that it serves every purpose of a library to many who
cannot afford to invest money in various technical books.

By the mechanic, Dr. Chase's Book of Recipes has long been
held in the highest favor. It is a common thing to find it on
the shelf or on the desk or on the closet shelf of the carpenter
or blacksmith or other skilled workman. Such men refer to it
for the information they so often need to help them in some
perplexing problem of their trade. In the kitchen it is usually
a well-worn book, depended upon as a guide in cooking and
cleaning and other various household duties. No cook book or
household guide was ever devised that has had such a sale as
this one; and no other book has been so universally adopted
and has so long held the confidence of housewives. Cook books
come and cook books go, but Dr. Chase's book stays on forever.
When an emergency arises it is always "Go get Dr. Chase's
book," or "See what Dr. Chase's book says to do." It is a sort
of all-wise counselor in times of trouble, filled with just such
advice as is most needed.

As a family medical guide, Dr. Chase's Book of Recipes is
famous; and its fame extends almost everywhere. Families
have for many years depended upon it to prevent disease and
save doctors' bills, and many of the most prominent physicians
in communities frequently consult it for suggestions to aid
them in their practice. If there were no other departments in
this most excellent book, the medical department alone would
place it among the most useful and valuable household works.
The descriptions of diseases and their symptoms and the direc-
tions given are so plain and simple that anyone can under-
