"Proper care of food in the home is necessary for healthful, economical living.

The eradication of Bang''s disease, which began on a systematic basis in 1934 under combined federal and State supervision, was patterned after the bovine tuberculosis-eradication campaign, which was then making rapid strides toward practical eradication of the disease. Before systematic eradication of Bang''s disease began, estimated losses from that malady amounted to fully $50,000,000 annually. The principal causes of loss were lowered milk production and high death rate of calves. The disease was prevalent in practically every part of the United States, where about 10 percent of all cattle were affected, according to an official estimate.

"The codling moth or apple worm and the apple scab have no direct relationship except that both attack the apple and are, respectively, the chief insect enemy and the chief fungous disease of this fruit. Both are, however, subject to practical control by sprays, which being necessary at the same dates, in the main, can be combined in single applications, and it is for this reason that they are considered together in this bulletin. A brief life history is given of the codling moth, with a description of the sprays and other remedies for it, followed by similar matter on the apple scab. The bulletin concludes with a joint consideration, for both pests, of spraying outfits and methods, with directions for the combination of the spray mixtures, and a spray calendar" -- introduction.

Displacing Female Bodies on the Eighteenth-Century Stage is driven by a central question: why were women playwrights in the Romantic period obsessed with silencing their female characters, pushing them off the stage, and announcing the removal of their own texts to the closet? These playwrights were some of the most well-known and commercially successful writers of their era, but were paradoxically also among its most marginalized figures: they were mocked by largely conservative audiences, suffered intense criticism for placing their works on display before the public eye, and frequently found their plays rejected by theater managers in favor of works by established male playwrights. This book argues that these writers did not simply craft plays that would please the crowd, but that they deftly incorporated the suppressions and subjugations to which they were subject into their works. It demonstrates that within their plays, gaps in discourse and representation contain a productive capacity, denoting spaces of imaginative potential or drawing into focus the conditions by which such silencing and erasure takes place, and argues that the long-standing critical misapprehension of these works stems from precisely these strategies of resistance, which of necessity took non-traditional forms and thus have not been readily recognizable to audiences, then or now.

The author calls for a revolution in health care, criticizing its hostility to alternative medicine and its bias against women.
