Food for the Sick A Manual for Physician and Patient (Classic Reprint)

by Solomon Strouse

Excerpt from Food for the Sick: A Manual for Physician and Patient Since this book is to be written for the perusal of physician and patient, it must be constructed from the patient's as well as from the physician's point of view. And written in language which the patient will be able to understand. At the same time, it must adhere to the strictest tenets of true science. But we shall avoid the mistake of confusing science with theory, and theory will be brought in only when absolutely neces sary to prove a fact For our purpose, we might imply by science the knowing why, and by art the knowing how of feeding. T O know how to diet for Obesity is not the same thing as to know why the diet is prescribed; but we shall consider that we have not filled our purpose unless we can show both the why and the how.
