“…Increasingly prevalent portrayals of occupations such as teaching, nursing, and cooking as appropriately "womanly" helped constitute new forms of connection between science, medicine and domesticity. 48 These connections in turn contributed to the enrolment of dogs within veterinary, generative, and nutritional scientific ideals. While Williams's above-mentioned treatise contrasted the "sour tempers" and "dirty habits" of puppies bred in kennels with the mannered bearing of puppies lucky enough to have "clever house dogs" (tutored by women) as parents, it also condemned the "old-fashioned plan of rearing" in which owners and breeders forced puppies onto a "sloppy foods" diet of "bread and milk, milk puddings, porridge and so on."…”

The health and well-being of pets became a significant matter of medical and scientific concern during the first decades of the twentieth century. Addressing the case of dogs, this article contends that this circumstance was not primarily a consequence of developments internal to veterinary practice but rather emerged from the broader-based domestic-science movement. The elaboration of scientifically oriented approaches to dog care signals the incorporation of pets within a maternal ideal that emphasized care and efficiency as domestic virtues. Via consideration of canine milk foods, women-led canine medical institutions, canine-concerned domestic workers, and rationalist approaches to kennel design, the article demonstrates that dogs should be placed alongside such established objects of domestic scientific reform as children, homes, and human bodies. Moreover, it shows that scientific reconceptualizations of dogs relied on an extensive network of (primarily women) laborers that included food producers, nursing staff, kennel attendants, and breeders. The article thereby contributes to a growing body of scholarship highlighting ways in which the domestic-science movement forged new scientific objects and practices around the turn of the twentieth century. By the 1930s, dogs were routinely being upheld as exemplars of the kinds of homely existence made possible by scientifically informed approaches to domestic living.

“…If half the sickroom battle was in the domestic kitchen, what could be done to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary? Although invalid cookery has been examined, the corpus of published work is limited and ranges from continuities in the conceptual framework underpinning dietary advice for convalescents in the early modern era (circa 1500-1800) to the relationships between cookery advice for invalids and the traditions of domestic medicine circa 1900 (Adelman 2018;Albala 2012). Recently, and from a different direction, Williams has examined dietary recommendations for invalids in old cookery books that were sold in Australia.…”

Invalid food" was still widely understood in the 1920s and 1930s as a special category of food for people with chronic conditions and those who were convalescing from illness or injury. In an era when there was still limited capacity to restore full health quickly with effective treatments, even for those who had access to the best medical attention, being an invalid was often protracted. Care at home was commonplace especially for the poor in a period of significant economic and social change. Generally, the impact of nutritional science on medical education was minimal and households often turned to mass market cookery books, newspapers, and the radio for practical advice about the preparation of meals to give some benefit to the patient, or to stimulate the appetite. By reference to period materials, this article explores the nature of that advice and the transition to more targeted publications offering a greater menu range and guidance for those preparing food.

In recent decades, the history of medicine has seen additional experimentation with the changing understanding of the relationship between medicine and society, especially with the emergence of a knowledge-and information-based society and globalization. Furthermore, historians have attempted to establish the value of the history of medicine in response to changing perceptions of medicine and history in the twenty-first century. Their efforts have vitalized the field of medical history by treating it as a useful lens for observing medicine's past as well as formulating critical questions about its present.
