INTRODUCTORY NOTE TO SECOND EDITION

Before the manuscript for the first edition of “Scientific Feeding” went to the press, it was reviewed by several presidents of Mothers’ Clubs and other women organizations; they realized that it would fill a long-felt want in the home and a large number of advance subscriptions were sent in.

After publication the gratifying demand for this work necessitated the preparation of a second edition within a month.
