Synopsis

Dr. Chase’s Recipes, Or, Information For Everybody: An Invaluable Collection Of About Eight Hundred Practical Recipes. To Which Have Been Added A Rational Treatment Of Pleurisy, Inflammation Of The Lungs, And Other Inflammatory Diseases, And Also For General Female Debility And Irregularities by A. W. Chase, M.D. is a 19th-century, multi-edition domestic manual intended as a practical reference for households, farmers, and small trades. The text bundles hundreds of tested recipes and how-to instructions across departments such as cooking, food preservation, beverages, cleaning, household chemistry, arts and crafts, farm and animal care, and even medical home remedies. It emphasizes thrift, self-reliance, and economy, arguing that knowledge gained from daily labor and observation is more valuable than purchased substitutes. The volume is peppered with endorsements, case notes, and illustrations, and organized by topic with indexes to aid quick access. It targets a broad audience—families, merchants, and tradespeople—and functions as a compendium of practical, do-it-yourself knowledge for daily life in mid-19th-century America.
