Abstract
(1) THIS little volume is most practical in its treatment of problems of diet. The author approaches the subject with such wholehearted enthusiasm that he equals, if not excels, that of his father, whose work he continues and extends. The rules emphasised as to selection of food are to secure ample proteid, and a preferential position for this in making up a dietary, so that digestion shall not be previously weakened by any less valuable constituent.
