Sidney Morse's Household Discoveries paid readers a cent a word for their household discoveries, and bound the results into an encyclopedia of practical recipes and processes — with Mrs. Curtis's Cook Book as its second half (copyrights 1908 through 1914).

Its remedies and workshop methods are preserved as the historical record they are; nothing in them should be acted on today.

This edition is built from a dual-engine reading of the original pages, checked against the scans.
