Excerpt from Food and Digestion in Health and Disease: During Infant, Child, and Adult an Introduction on the Nature of Matter and the Phenomena of Life, and an and of the Properties and Properties of Water
The subject of food and its influence on man has in every age attracted more attention than any other branch of Hygiene, though it has seldom been treated in anything like a full manner, except by the authors of large text books on dietetics, for many of the smaller books extant are devoted to the purpose of either promulgating special doctrines or recommending certain regimes. I trust, therefore, I am justified in submitting this little treatise to notice, and as I have used my best efforts to give as unbiassed an account, and as accurate and widespread a survey, as space would permit, of the principles which govern "Food and Digestion in Health and Disease," I hope it may merit some favourable attention and supply a want which I think to be needed.
I have further thought well, in view of the difficulty of conveying a fairly accurate and useful knowledge of the chemical processes concerned, to include an introductory chapter which refers to the "Nature of Matter" and the "Phenomena of Life."
