PREFACE.
guide to aid in the development of the baby, while child feeding is considered with like care. Considerable matter has been introduced with reference to diet in various diseases, and the recipes for the diebetic have involved much thought and labor.
The hundreds of thoroughly tested recipes cover the whole range of the subject of cookery for the sick and convalescent. They are, for the most part, individual, thus requiring but a minimum of time for their preparation, while many have their caloric value given.
I wish to express my sincere thanks for the sympathy, encouragement, and help I have received from pupils, superintendents of nurses, professors, and physicians, which have made this work possible.
