 many instances there is also added a list of foods and dishes 

 that are UNSUITABLE to the special case.

 Brit. Med. Journal. 



" To all who hare much to do with Invalids, Dr. Burnet's book will be of great use. 

 . . . It will b3 found all the more valuable in that it deals with BROAD and ACCEPTED 

 VIEWS. There are large classes of disease which, if not caused solely by errors of diet, have 

 a principal cause in such errors, and can only be removed by an intelligent apprehension of 

 their relation to such. Gout, Scurvy, liickets, and Alcoholism are instances in point, and 

 they are all TREATED with ADMIRABLE SENSE and JUDGMENT by Dr. Burnet. He shows a 

 desire to allow as much range and VARIETY as possible. The careful study of such books as 

 this will very much help the Practitioner in the Treatment of cases, and powerfully aid the 

 action of remedies." Lancet. 



" Dr. Burnet's work is intended to meet a want which is evident to all those who have 

 to do with nursing the sick. . . . The plan is METHODICAL, SIMPLE, and PRACTICAL. . . . 

 Dr. Burnet takes the important diseases seriatim . . . and gives a Time-table of Diet, 

 with Bill of Fare for each meal, quantities, and beverages. . . . An appendix of Cookery 

 for invalids is given, which will help the nurse when at her wits' end for a change of diet, 

 to meec the urgency of the moment or tempt the capricious appetite of the patient."
