BOOK DESCRIPTION

In this book Miss Donnachie puts forward a new statement of the position of health and beauty problem in the lives of modern people–and particularly of modern women. Briefly, her theory is that in most people who suffer from ill-health, from over obesity, from excessive thinness, or from any other of the unpleasant conditions so distressingly prevalent to-day, the cause can be traced to unnatural diet or unnatural living conditions. So she gives menus based on foods suitable for everyone, and describes exercises devised to set every part of the body working along correct lines, these being accompanied by a series of specially taken photographs. She even provides a recipe for a natural, healthy face cream, so simple and inexpensive that feminine readers will be eager to try it out. The book is a noteworthy addition to the growing literature of health and beauty.
