About This Item
London U.K.: G. Bell and Sons Ltd.. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1914. First Edition. Hardcover. A very attractive copy of a scarce title, withdrawn from a library. Library markings are few, and the text is quite pristine. Any invalid under Mrs. Baker's care would eat like a prince, by modern standards, but she lays out certain principles at the beginning: "1. In the majority of cases the patient should not be consulted about the diet, because everything would probably be refused." This text harks back to an era when the medical caregiver had few weapons in his or her arsenal, so diet was probably considered paramount.; Ex-library .
