Immensely popular in the nineteenth-century, Dr. Chase's Recipes...went through dozens of editions and was believed to have sold over four million copies (second only to the Bible in total sales).

Containing recipes for both food and household products, delivered in a warm, chatty tone, this book was, and still is, a comprehensive source of information that deserves to be read and remembered.
