Abstract
A SERIES of lectures under the general title “The Nation's Larder” have been arranged at the Royal Institution with the approval and support of the Ministry of Food. The first was delivered on April 23 by Prof. J. C. Drummond, who spoke on food in relation to health in Great Britain during the past two hundred years. The remaining lectures of the series, which are being given on Tuesdays at 5.15, are on medical aspects of the use of foods (Sir Robert McCarrison), national food requirements (Sir John Orr), home production of food (Sir Frederick Keeble), manufacture, preservation and distribution of food (Dr. L. H. Lampitt), food and the housewife (Prof. V. H. Mottram) and the feeding of children (Dr. J. C Spence). The lectures are to be published later in book form. Admission is by ticket obtainable, free of charge, from the Royal Institution, Albemarle Street, London, W.I.
