Excerpt from Food, and Its Influence on Health and Disease, or an Account of the Effects of Different Kinds of Aliment on the Human Body: With Dietetic Rules for the Preservation of the Health
A great number of the diseases with which the human race is afflicted may be ascribed either to a paucity or to a superabundance of food. In the former case, the organs of the body are unable to obtain a sufficiency of materials adapted for their preservation in a state of vigour; and in the latter, disease is produced, either because wholesome food is taken in too large quantities, or from the inconsiderate introduction into the system of many articles of diet which interfere with nutrition.
