Introduction

Good Health for You: A Booklet Concerning the Value of Royal Yeast Cakes in Restoring and Maintaining Good Health was published by E.W. Gillett Co. Ltd. in Toronto, Ontario, in 1925. The objective of the sixteen page cookbook is to advertise Royal Yeast Cakes. Though lacking scientific evidence and proof, the book describes the health benefits of using Royal Yeast Cakes as a vital food for people who suffer from constipation, indigestion, nerve issues, insomnia, rheumatism, and other common ailments at the time. The creator includes testimonials and stories to try and convince readers of the medical benefits of using Royal Yeast Cakes. The booklet cleverly promotes E.W. Gillett Co. Ltd.'s product through discussions of its health benefits and some easy recipes that utilize the ingredient. The booklet was written in English in plain language and is very easy to understand.
