The recipes date from the 1880's-1890's. There is a newspaper recipe for Emma Paddock Telford's "Chocolate Fudge Recipes for College Girls' Spreads." Ms. Telford wrote several books published between 1908 and 1914. The other newspaper clippings in the book are pre-1900. Several clippings also give other household tips, such as maintaining harnesses for horses, keeping hair grey (and warning about 'sugar of lead'), how to stop bleeding from a deep cut with tea leaves and laudanum, ect
