PREFACE.

The first edition of this little work having been received with favor, I now venture to offer my friends and the general public, a new, revised, and enlarged edition. The subject matter of this hand-book of reference and home formulas has been collated, compiled and arranged with care, principally from rare and costly scientific works (to which the masses do not have access),—with new home facts from other sources, now presented in a condensed, cheap and simplified form. The object of the compiler has been to give a few key-notes on home economy and health, and the getting, spending and saving of money. How well we have succeeded a charitable public must decide.
