    Volume III The Lindlahr Vegetarian Cook Book and A B C of Natural Dietetics By Henry Lindlahr, M.D., and Anna M. Lindlahr (15th Edition) Newly revised and enlarged Splendid Index New Chapters on Vitamines The importance of diet is recognized by all schools of therapeutics, but it has remained for Dr. Henry Lindlahr to perfect a system of dietetics which brings order out of the conflicting and confusing theories of food “specialists.” The Lindlahr Vegetarian Cook Book furnishes an absolute standard for determining the relative values of foods and their proper selection and combination. The 988 vegetarian recipes have been tested through twenty years of institutional work. The heading of each recipe gives the food elements it contains. For assistance to physi¬ cians, nurses and housewives all foods are classified into groups and their medicinal properties explained. Thus it becomes a very easy matter to work out well balanced meals that will satisfy any palate and meet therapeutic requirements. Some of the Subjects Treated Are: Key to recipe markings; Raw foods; Medicinal vegetables; Recipes for Relishes, Salads, Croquettes and Roasts, Vegetables, Desserts, Cereals, Breads, Degumes, Dairy Products, Eggs, Sandwiches and Beverages. Why we favor a vegetarian diet; Psychology of digestion; Over¬ eating; To salt or not to salt; Fermented bread; Mono-diet; Masti¬ cation; Frequency of meals; Drinking distilled water; Drinking at meals; Mixing starches with acid fruits, and vegetables; Fallacy of the “calory” theory; The true nature and source of vitamines. The recipe for the famous Health Bread, used at The Eindlahr Sanitarium and Health Resort is given on page 210. Clothy $2.40 postpaid Lindlahr Publishing Co.
