Vegetarian supplement to Scientific feeding

A practical guide for anyone drawn to a meat‑free way of eating, this volume blends medical insight with everyday kitchen wisdom. Drawing on the author’s experience as both nurse and physician, it offers a clear philosophy that health begins with the right chemical combinations of food, not just the ingredients themselves. The tone is supportive, aiming to empower readers to make sensible, affordable choices without sacrificing flavor.

The book is organized into two main sections. Part I classifies foods, explains their bodily functions, and supplies over a hundred simple and fancy menus, complete with raw and cooked recipes that avoid artificial sugars and promote proper nutrient balance. Part II delves into anatomy, circulation, and common ailments such as constipation and obesity, offering dietary suggestions, therapeutic menus for convalescents, and a handy caloric table.

Beyond recipes, readers find advice on hygiene, sanitation, and the importance of sunlight, fresh air, and moderate exercise to complement a vegetarian regimen. It serves as both a cookbook and a health handbook, ideal for those seeking a rational, sustainable approach to wholesome living.
