MEATLESs COOKERY. By Maria McIlvsine
Gilmore Published by f. T. Dutton Co, osl
Fifth Avenue, New York. Price, S2oo.
It is not necessary TO be vegetarian to sppre,,
cate the worth of "Meatless Cookery" for we all
know at least that the child, as well as an adult
over forty should have a restricted meat diet
Nevertheless, this book will appeal particularly to
the person who has to provide a meatless diet Tor
seven days a week and three hundred and sixty
five days year.
The book meets adequately and authoritatvely
the problem OF providing proper diet for those
who are threatened with disorders of the heart
and blood vessels, and to whom meat protein has
been denied. Also, many attractive recipes are
given for those who can still include chicken anu
eggs in the diet.
DR. Louis Faugeres Bishop. author Of an author
itative work hardening Of the arteries says in
his introduction to "Meatess COOKERY; Mrs
Gilmore, in this book, has undertaken 20 compile
the experiences OF persons who have honestly
attempted to restore to health and prolong the
life of members Of their families BY providing
piled with the requirements of persons who had
to consider their hearts and blood vessels"
1t should be remembered, when using this book,
that the author does not underestimate the value
of meat for the normal individual but il is a we'll
known fact that the average family errs decidedly
IN favor Of this most expensive article OF food.
