This classic handbook contains simple and useful instructions for saving money, including hints on cooking, instructions for making one's own household necessities, advice on enduring poverty, general maxims for good health, and much more. This volume will appeal to anyone with an interest in cutting their carbon footprint and generally saving money - and it would make for a useful addition to any bookshelf. Contents include: "Odd Scraps for the Economical", "Soap", "Simple Remedies", "Gruel", "Egg Gruel", "Arrow-Root Jelly", "Calf's Foot Jelly", "Tapioca Jelly", "Sago Jelly", "Beef Tea", "Wine Whey", "Apple Water", "Vegetables", "Herbs", "Cheap Dye-Stuffs", "Meat Corned, or Salted, Hams", "Choice of Meat", etcetera.
