Excerpt from A Handbook of Cookery for a Small House

It is to be remarked that the quack of modern civilisation, the vendor of patent medicine, preys mainly upon the races of anglo-saxon stock who are also great warriors, great orators, mighty hunters, great masters of outdoor pursuits. No virtues apparently will avail for happiness if the righteous art of cooking be neglected by the national con science. We owe much to the fruitful meditations of our sages, but. A sane view of life is, after all, elab Orated mainly in the kitchen-the kitchen of the small house, the abode of the preponderant majority of the people. And a sane View of life excludes the belief in patent medicine. The conscientious cook 18 the natural enemy of the quack without a con science; and thus his labours make for the honesty and favour the amenity of our existence. For a sane view of life can be no other than kindly and joyous, but a believer in patent medicine is steeped in the gloom of vague fears, the sombre attendants of dis ordered digestion.
