Some of the recipes sound delicious, like Irish stew and Custard Pudding, while others, such as Sheep’s Tongue and Brain Sauce, would require a particular palate.]]> A Medical Practitioner and a Lady Professor of Cookery]]> Books]]> Plants from Seed may have helped Truby King with his garden development at Melrose. King spent huge amounts of money importing seeds, seedlings, and plants from all over the world, especially from Belgium and French nurseries. His ‘dell’ had some 400 rhododendrons and was regarded as one of the best in the country. Thousands of bricks were used to build walls and garden features and King’s love of strawberries was evident in the fact that he had over 350 plants in several varieties. Sadly Bella died in January 1927 so she was not able to enjoy the gardens at their best. In 1932, after increased ill-health, King donated the entire property to the Plunket Society. He moved to one of his rental properties nearby.]]> A. J. Macself]]> Books]]> Heliotherapy is featured here.]]> A.Rollier]]> Books]]> Christian Science, Medicine, and Occultism (1902), an early text on this subject, which severely criticised the Christian Science of Mary Baker Eddy, and spiritualism and occultism in general. Moll’s book contains passages relating to the ‘treatment of lunatics’ and ‘results of hysteria’; perhaps these attracted King to this book. King was critical of many things; it is unclear whether he championed Moll’s views. This book is signed by Truby King.]]> Albert Moll]]> Books]]> Diet and Dietetics. Gautier, Professor at the Sorbonne, divided food of mankind into two sorts: meat and vegetables. Aiming towards national regeneration, Gautier maintained a balance was required, with the former (meat) fostering the aggressive pursuit of self-interest; the latter (vegetables) acting as a restraining, moralising force. Here King uses Gautier’s data for his own ‘energy’ calculations.]]> Armand Gautier]]> Books]]>
