註釋Recipes, medical information, and household preparations gathered by a writer with experience living in India, perhaps intended as advice for others. The recipes are gathered into categories of soups; fish; breakfast dishes and entrées; puddings and jellies and pies; cakes, biscuits, toffee; bread; and sauces. Material specific to India includes measurements in seers and chittaks, ingredient names such as attar (whole wheat flour) and ajwain (caraway), and some recipes, such as "toonkees or paprees" and "Farruckabad chutnee." The medical advice includes cautions on water and milk, advice on adding nutritive value to an army diet, and notes on typhoid, kidney and liver diseases, cholera, dysentery and diarrhea, fevers, eye problems, diphtheria, influenza, and a few treatments for horses and dogs. The small amount of household advice consists of instructions for cleaning with egg yolk, reeta (Indian soap nuts), sal ammoniac or benzine; mounting photographs; and rendering clothes "uninflammable." Headings for "Poetry in various languages" (p. 117) and "Quotations" (p. 125) have no entries. The "Index to various recipes in cookery and hints and advice in sickness" at the beginning of the volume has entries only up to the letter C and no page numbers. Starting upside down from the back are a list in pencil of china, glass, and utensils, and a small number of "Recipes from auntie" in ink that make no reference to India.
