This is the standard book of Mrs. Rorer's that has been before the public for a number of years. It has no connection with Mrs. Rorer's New Cook Book. Each book is independent of the other, and the possession of one forms no reason for doing without the other.

The Philadelphia Cook Book is full of good things, and, like all of Mrs. Rorer's works, is eminently practical. It is a standard of excellence, in that it is full of the brightest things in cookery; the recipes are absolutely reliable, and the general instructions to housekeepers of the most helpful and necessary character.

Nearly all cook books assume some knowledge and experience on the part of those who use them, but Mrs. Rorer makes her explanations so clear, and gives such definite directions, as to quantities, that the beginner has no difficulty in successfully accomplishing all the book calls for. Then there are frequent hints as to the proper use of left-overs, how to market, and, in many ways, information is given that is alike useful to the experienced cook as to the tyro in matters culinary.

The book is full of choice recipes, every one of which has been successfully tested by Mrs. Rorer and found to come out right. This alone is of incalculable benefit and ought to commend the book to the favorable consideration of every housekeeper.

The use of this book in the home means better health, better living, economy in the use of food, and a consequent saving in dollars and cents.
