Every practitioner of medicine, of whatever school of practice, can 
find in this work many practical hints that he cannot well afford to 
neglect. Success in the treatment of many chronic diseases often de- 
pends upon “ how to feed the sick.’ It should grace every library in the 
land.—Periscope. 
Professor Charles Gatchell’s “ How to Feed the Sick” is the best 
book on the subject for the people. It contains in 160 pages an astonish- 
ing amount of condensed information on a subject of great importance, 
and one but little understood. Its stvle is admirable, pithy, and to the 
point. The book has no padding about it, and deserves an immense 
sale-—S. O.L. Potter, M. D., Author of Index of Comparative Therapeu- 
Lies, etc. 
The first edition of this little work, which has had a wide distriou- 
tion, appeared under the title of “Doctor, What Shall I Eat?” and drew 
from both medical and lay journals the high tribute of praise which it 
deserves, in still larger measure, in its present revised and enlarged 
form. The work is eminently practical, simple in its details, clear and 
precise in its formule, and suited to the needs alike of doctor and 
patient— Minnesota Tribune. 
This is a hand-book of diet in disease prepared by a thorough physi- 
cian. Florence Nightingale said, “'To give food and stimulants in the 
way, at the time, of the kind, with the cooking and preparing that will 
best enable the poor, enfeebled digestion to assimilate it, is one of the 
great arts of nursing.” She might have added that it was a great part 
of medicine. The work has already passed through three editions. It 
is dedicated to the trained nurses of America. <A good idea of its scope 
may be obtained by an enumeration of the heads of the various chap- 
ters—How to Feed the Baby; the Care of Milk; Diet in Cholera In- 
_fantum; How to Feed Fever Patients; Diet in Dyspepsia; Diet in Con- 
stipation; Diet in Consumption; Rectal Alimentation; Dietin Diabetes; 
Milk Cure; Diet in Bright’s Disease; Diet in Gravel; Diet of Travel- 
ers; Diet for the Corpulent; Diet in Rheumatism; Diet in Asthma; 
Diet in Heart Disease; Diet in Diarrhcea, Dysentery, Cholera; Diet 
in Diphtheria; Diet in Inflammation of the Stomach; Diet in Bilious- 
ness; Diet in Convalescence; Recipes, Soups and Broths; Miscella- 
neous. We place a high estimate upon this work because of the attain- 
ments of the author as a physician and a writer—J/ealth Fournal.
