Abstract
THE word rezept is liberally interpreted, and this book includes prescriptions for dealing with all the problems that are likely to arise in an ordinary household. It gives directions for making emetics, hair dyes, shampoos, face creams, eau de Cologne, mouth washes, shaving soap, alcoholic drinks, boot polish and about ten kinds of ink, and foi treating colds, warts, nose-bleeding, sea-sickness, heat-spots, sunburn and indigestion. Sections are devoted to the keeping of horses, cows, dogs and cats, and to getting rid of mice, rats, earwigs, ants, snakes and a host of other pests that afflict houses and gardens. There are sections on gardening, photography, food and clothes. The information appears to be accurate and up to date.
