"Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom ; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

CHICAGO LAIRD & LEE, PUBLISHERS 1894 <': PREFACE In preparing this book for the public our object has been to fill a long-felt want, namely a book to which perplexed and inexperienced housekeepers can go and be sure that they will find therein something to tide them over the emergencies that occur in every household. In compiling the recipes for cooking we have aimed at simplicity and practicability, avoiding, as far as possible, all foreign and ambiguous terms; claiming that, as a rule, American names are good and ex- plicit enough for x\merican cooking. A medicaT department forms an important feature of this work and is designed to help those who, either from neces- sity or from cnoice, do not wish to consult a physician every time that nature requires a little assistance to reassert its rights. This part of the work has been prepared, with great care, by an eminent physician of long experience and who thoroughly understands the human system and its needs. Trusting that The CENTURY COOK BOOK may prove an "ever present help" we send it forth on, we hope, its wide- spread mission. v THE PUBLISHERS.
