THE IDEAL HOUSEWIFE
I. "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. Sha
looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her
children arise up, and call her blessed ; her husband also, and he praiseth her."—
Proverbs xxxi. 25—38.

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
