"It is proposed in this treatise to put forth such suggestions and facts relating to the effect of the different foods upon the physical condition, both in health and ill-health, that by a careful perusal of them, the reader may intelligently select in each instance, just the materials needed to preserve his entire system in perfect equilibrium, which in other words, is perfect health"--P. 2. Written from the perspective that "what is needed is less medication, and more knowledge of the natural, rational method of living"--P. [1].
