Excerpt from Dietetics

IT is open to serious doubt whether the progress made in the study of dietetics has been of such a sweeping character as to warrant its inclusion in the category of the sciences. There are, however, many indications that it has advanced beyond the stage of a simple accumu lation of facts and experiences, and is preparing to take its place as a subject amenable to law.

This short treatise does not pretend to be more than a fairly careful résumé of the principles underlying the important question of nutrition, although I have endea voured to impart a personal character to the book by taking every opportunity of expressing my own views on all the important points. I am hopeful that it may serve as a guide of more than ephemeral interest and value, not only to those who desire no further acquaint ance with the subject, but to those who wish to pursue the fascinating study among the larger text-books.
