Excerpt from Hand Book of Practical Receipts: Or Useful Hints in Every Day Life

WE deem no apology necessary for offering to the public another book of Family Receipts. There are few households where there is not, many times in the year, need of just such a book as this which we now put into your hands. We have not confined ourselves to cookery, though in that department we have collected many excellent recipes; but have given also valuable prescriptions for the sick, important rules for domestic economy, the care of chil dren, the treatment of domestic animals, and. Such advice as to behavior and conduct as will, We hope, benefit the young. In everything we have studied condensation; our object being, not to parade the greatest possible number of items, but to give, in the briefest and most con~ centrated form, those which will be of most advantage to our readers. If any ungenerous youth, any young housekeeper, any mother watching over the sick bed of her child, shall find in it something adapted to their wants and needs, we shall feel that our labor has not been wholly in vain.
