18955909Washington D. C.: Ralston Company 1895. Octavo 24 x 15.5 cm. 46 2 pages. Membership application at rear. Cover title: Ralston Model Meals for Every Day in the Year. ~ Evident third edition but first so-titled. Originally published in 1894 under the title Ralston Meals For Every Day. with 38 pages. A second edition with just 31 pages was issued in 1895 and later that year this third enlarged edition. A health community cookbook with recipes numbered 30 to 253 numbers 1-29 enumerate minimally prepared foods such as Bouillon Tea as well as selected grains and fruits. A propensity can be seen for broiled poultry and boiled vegetables but the coverage is broadly standard for its time as baked goods and puddings do not necessarily "interfere with the health of the stomach" page 29. Interest lies less in the entries themselves than in the recommendations for their consumption yams ought not be eaten more than once per week; pearl tapioca should be avoided as should dried currants as both cause appendicitis. ~ A document of the curious social movement geographically anchored in the District of Columbia known as Ralstonism. The Ralstonite system of model meals - here outlined in fifty-five chapters - rested on a "philosophy" of digestibility the determination of which might involve many factors. "A hard boiled egg will digest" we learn for instance "every bit of it but will take much more time than will a soft boiled egg. This extra amount of time that the egg is in the stomach so that it is not fermenting will furnish staying power ." page 59. Strictures against red meat and game alongside the promotion of fresh and dried fruits vegetables and grains of course already had an acknowledged pedigree in health-conscious circles. But present too are some dubious physiological speculations proffered on the basis of "the many experiments made by the Ralston Health Club" page 60. ~ Devised by Webster Edgerly 1852-1926 writing under the pseudonym Edmund Shaftesbury Ralston was an acronym meant to stand for principles of healthy living Regime Activity Light Strength Temperation Oxygen Nature; or perhaps more accurately a backronym designed to fit out the surname of another concocted alias: Everett Ralston if the labyrinthine story related in the 1900 edition of the Club's membership book can be believed Book of Star Ralstonism 12th nominal edition; 77th actual edition Washington D.C.: Ralston Publishing. Odd though its origins may seem the name survived for decades as that of a breakfast cereal marketed by the Purina Mills Company of St. Louis. ~ Slight soiling; central opening loose.
