[Small octavo, 74, [2] pages. Advertisements. FIRST EDITION. The date and priority is indicated by Cook, who dates the first edition as 1895 (the second is 1906), and that this earlier printing was printed by the Roscoe Printing House in Jericho, VT, which this copy is. This small temperance cookbook contains recipes specifically thought to address the root causes of alcoholism. With better nutrition and more "natural" foods would come less desire for drink. recipes attributed. In printed, green wrappers. We've seen two different wrappers on this title; this green paper, and the later, with a white textured paper, both with the same printed design. Fine. [OCLC shows eight copies, but doesn't differentiate between the 1895 and 1906 printings; Cook, page 252; not in Bitting, Brown or Cagle].
