A singularly attractive volume, not for invalids alone but for

everyone, is Simplified Cookery and Invalid Diet, by a doctor's wife (Faber and Gwyer, 2s. 6d.). There are diets for fever, dropsy, diabetes, constipation, &c., but the various ways of dealing with milk and the short chapters on vitamins, box cookery, &c., are all most helpful. For a small and inexpensive book on cookery this is one of the best we have seen and we can cordially recommend it to every housewife, whether her household be large or small.
