First edition.With the original unclipped dust wrapper. This recipe book centres on various vegetable juice "cocktails" designed to provide health benefits, including celery for indigestion, watercress for blood purification, and a 'spring cocktail' using rhubarb, strawberries and honey to "clean up a muddy complexion". These juices were promoted by Benjamin Gayelord Hauser, an American nutritionist and self-help author who advocated the 'natural way of eating' and served as an advisor to many celebrities. Although supported by many film stars, his methods were often in conflict with the medical community, and he was more seen as a "food faddist". With four leaves of publisher's advertisements to the rear and eight blank pages for owner's own recipes.
