THE
WOMAN SUFFRAGE COOK BOOK,

CONTAINING THOROUGHLY TESTED AND RELIABLE RECIPES FOR COOKING, DIRECTIONS FOR THE CARE OR THE SICK, AND PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS,

EDITED AND PUBLISHED BY
MRS. HATTIE A. BURR,
12 WAYNE STREET, BOSTON.


In what thou eatest and drinkest, seeking from thence
Due nourishment, not glutoneous delight,
So mayest thou live, till, like ripe fruit, thou drop
Into thy mother's lap; or be with ease
Gathered, not harshly plucked; for death mature.

PREFACE.


THIS little volume is sent out with an important mission. It has been carefully prepared, and will prove a practical, reliable authority on cookery, housekeeping, and care of the sick, especially adapted to family use. While many of the receipts are original, it is not claimed that all are so; but each has been thoroughly tested, and is vouched for as reliable by the contributor whose name is appended.


Among the contributors are many who are eminent in their professions as teachers, lecturers, physicians, ministers, and authors,--whose names are household words in the land. A book with so unique and notable a list of contributors, vouched for by such undoubted authority, has never before been given to the public.


Grateful acknowledgments are due to the kind friends,--many of them in distant homes,--who have so willingly contributed of their knowledge and experience for the accomplishment of this undertaking. I believe the great value of these contributions will be fully appreciated, and our messenger will go forth a blessing to housekeepers, and an advocate for the elevation and enfranchisement of woman.
